In 1987, my wife and I shouldered our backpacks and set off from Australia. The plan was to live and work overseas in England for two years, using it as a base for UK and wider world travels. And the widest of these were inspired by reading books like Alan Moorehead's The White Nile and The Blue Nile.
The White and Blue Niles is a travel blog post from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
