Recently, Amanda Henry (phytolith ) - who is an assistant instructor at Primal Fitness- went to Australia. There she hooked up with some of the guys from PKAUS.com. Read more for a brief description of her trip and a link to the photos.
Late last month I was in Brisbane, Australia, doing a bit of touring. Not wanting to come home fat and lazy (after all, we were going to a lot of fancy restaurants, the Aussies know how to eat!), I googled the Australian Parkour scene, and found www.pkaus.com, their national website. The parkour group in Brisbane is quite active and vibrant, and when I posted to the site to let them know I'd be there they organized a Jam. I met a bunch of quite friendly and skilled traceurs and traceuses who showed me around the hotspots in downtown Brisbane, and spent a great morning. I didn't get any photos, but one of the guys, NFG, had his camera setup there and captured some great shots. http://nfggames.com/gallery/v/Parkour/Oct27Jam/ The best part was, though I was a tourist a long way from home, I met and got to talk and train with a bunch of really fun people! So, lesson learned? Parkour is everywhere, if you're going someplace new, even someplace a day's airplane ride away, there will be people there who will happy to jam with you.

Brisbane is not a movie, Mark. It's amazing to see Parkour thriving all over the world. It's good to know that no matter where you go, you have fellow traceurs willing to show you around etc!
