Some pictures of my home;

I grew up in a small village up here in North Queensland called Paluma. It's a tiny town of about 40 or so houses nestled in the rainforest 3000ft up a mountain.






Paluma actually translates to "Thunder" in the language of the local Aboriginal tribe that used to inhabit the area, very befitting as in Summer we get storms most afternoons as well as hail like this one;


Sometimes they would pass over leaving light hail/ice clouds left in the sky




Oh and it's full of lots of lovely animals lol

Were much more interested in keeping the bugs out of our mouths.

It was fun to throw up gang signs and shit, though.

I will be there in June visiting family

I do love Ballaarat, but I'm kinda itching to visit home back up in the Mallee, haven't been to Pinnaroo in years. It's just a little spud and wheat farming town of 600 but if there is one thing I miss it's the beauty of the place and its serenity. I'll always be a South Australian.

At least you didn't say Montreal.

Harajuku <3

A few of you not exactly playing by the rules but some great pics anyway.

Also, can't believe anyone could get bored in New York. A mind blowing place.

Vintage PB with the #PalumaChat :P

I have to say Las Vegas too. Its been a long time but when I was there you never were short on entertainment 24/7.
Would love to go again as they say 'every 5 years it becomes a whole new experience.

Is that where your parents are from? I was there in 2012. Top spot.

Spent some time in Zabljak in the Durmitor Mountains too. Brilliant scenery and good rakija.

So many nicer places in Vanuatu than Vila/Efate.

My parents were missionaries when I was younger, and we spent a lot of time in Vila, Tanna, and Futuna.

Tanna was the most interesting in terms of cultural & scenic diversity. Futuna is really confronting, it's basically a rock in the middle of the pacific Ocean. 4villages on the flats of the island, and a huge farm on the top of the cliff that takes all day to hike to the top of.

No. Was born somewhere over the border. Would spend each summer in either Kotor, or Ulcinj growing up. Zabljak is stunning.

Woweee!!!

I lived in Vanuatu as a kid too. Parents were missionaries over there as well. Tanna is beautiful, but my favourite place would be the Blue hole in Santo. Look it up on Google if you havent seen or heard of it. Amazing Place.

In regards to amazing cities of the world, I would say Barcelona and Florence.

Haha! What are the odds?

Agreed, the Santo Lagoon is really cool - we never landed there though, just flew over it.

Allyn River, NSW because I found mushrooms there
