    TERRIBLE FITZROY ISLAND AND MY CAT NEARLY DIED

    Welcome to the Travelman Podcast! I’m your host Ben, and if you’re joining me for the first time then I say hello and thank you for listening, and if you’re a returning listener then I say thanks for returning!

    It has been a while since I've been online. It's now 2022 and I've just edited this episode that has sat handsomely on my laptop for months, unedited. A heap has happened in my life like I bought a house and my wife is pregnant!!!! She's 33 and a half weeks!!! A baby is on the way!!

    On today’s episode, I’ll be talking about my limited time in Cairns and disastrous time on Fitzroy Island, and the news that made me cancel my second night, get straight on the Fitzroy Flyer and return home to Melbourne via Brisbane.

    Enjoy the podcast.

    COVID SAFE TRAVELLING 2021

    Welcome to the Travelman Podcast! I’m your host Ben, and if you’re joining me for the first time then I say hello and thank you for listening, and if you’re a returning listener then I say thanks for returning!
    On today’s episode, I’ll be chatting about my upcoming holiday! Yes, Travelman is back holidaying. Well maybe… I may well be trapped again in my state if our beloved leader believes Covid is going to go on a rampage again.
    So hopefully not, because I have an itinerary that you could probably copy! This is going to be wild, in more ways than one.
