Along the way, we get an intimate look at Sydney's social scene and find out the current 'hot gossip'. PLUS: Green Nomad: Five years ago, John Wilson was a psychiatrist with a busy Sydney practice. Inspired by some of his patients, who had expressesd their concerns about environmental issues, he decided to sell his Woollahra home and take off to the bush. John now lives out of the back of a 4WD and has dedicated himself to a nomadic existence. He admits to a need for solitude after having overdosed on "human vibrations" as a psychiatrist but, he has allowed himself a couple of luxuries to compensate his frugal existence, including a solar powered lap top. For John, Australia is a special place, much of which is largely unexplored. He doesn't regret his decision to give up his practice for one moment, and despite being scorned by some of his colleagues, he is gratified to learn that some of them have followed his lead.
