This Big Trip Blog is an excellent blog of "an outdoor life hiking, cycling and paddling.

Christine has hiked, cycled and paddled a lot of the world over the last 4 years, including some of Australia, and has written her trips up on her blog, some of her trips are excellent adventures, I especially liked her what breaks when report.

Oh yeah, I've kept an eye on that blog over the past year and some of her achievements are freakish! Her Australian adventures had my eyes on stalks just for the sheer amount of kilometres involved! How do you insert a link? Anyway, here it is...

One thing though. What's her job to get that much time off work? :)

The Big Trip is a great blog with some v interesting trips. Well worth a read.
Actually for all these kind of blogs its worth setting up a Google Reader account and adding the relevant Feed/RSS subscriptions. That way you get a constantly updating list of new posts from all your favourites blogs on the one page. Makes it much easier to keep up-to-date.
And you've got your Google Reader apps for smart phones like MobileRSS to make it even easier.

If anyone is interested Ive got a list of about 60+ RSS feeds links on (Aus bushwalking (some OS as well),packrafting, kayaking, gear reviews).
PM me if youd like the list...tried to upload it to this post but not allowed.

What file type was the upload? PDF and some other formats should be fine, but some are blocked for security reasons.

Its got an .xml file extension (tried renaming it to .txt but that didnt work either).
Xml is the file format that Google Reader uses for export/import, also known as OPML
