Toronto, Canada
I had a two day whistle stop tour of Toronto planned as part of my trip to North America but sadly a changed flight schedule resulted in the the stay being cut even shorter to just 24 hours. Whilst my visit was short, I was still very keen to catch up with my old work [...]
Daylesford, Victoria
When I was invited away to daylesford with A Table For Two for the weekend initially I was cautious as spending a long weekend in an Australian country town can sometimes prove to be tricky. Many close down for the weekend and some have little for the tourist to explore without travelling vast distances. Added [...]
Old Macaroni at Hepburn Springs
I was recently invited along on a weekend trip to Daylsford in Victoria, Australia and after visiting the Hanging Rock we made our way to the small town of Hepburn Springs. Hepburn Springs is a neighbouring town to Daylsford and was the location of our accommodation for our stay. The town is easy to reach, [...]
No day for a picnic
If I had known of the scale of the tragedy and deception associated with Hanging Rock before my visit, this pleasant and tranquil setting may have been interpreted as somber or even macabre in nature. For back in 1900 on Valentines Day a teacher and three students went missing never to be found again – [...]
6.30 with George Negus
After completing the I’ve been everywhere adventure the Channel 10 program “6.30 with George Negus” picked up on the story. These few minutes of footage took a whole day of filming.

About Me
My name is Peter Harris. I'm originally from England but now live in Australia.
In 1959 Australian Geoff Mack wrote the lyrics to "I've been everywhere", a song listing 94 Australian place names linked only by their ability to rhyme with each other.
In December 2009 I commenced visiting all 94 locations and 18 months and over 30,000 kilometres later I finally arrived at Birdsville, Queensland on 4 September 2011 bringing my mission to an end. I also managed to raise funds for the Fred Hollows Foundation.
Whilst I may now have been "everywhere", I still have many adventures ahead of me and this blog continues to serve as a record of them. Enjoy.
