Dave Byrne has been an avid explorer of the outdoors for as long as he can remember. From the mountains of France and jungles of Borneo, to the rainforests of New Zealand and deserts of central Australia, his passion for adventure has seen him traverse the globe. Now, as a trail runner, Dave combines his love of wild places with his desire to race in the world’s most competitive ultra marathons. When not running as part of the North Face team, he’s busy with his video production company, that just so happens to also see him often immersed in nature!

Welcome to the Blog

The name Paddy Pallin certainly means many things to many people. For some it brings to mind the genial personality of one of Australia’s pioneer bushwalkers. Others will recognise the name from the label of a sleeping bag or rucksack that has given a generation of faithful service in the great outdoors. Or perhaps it brings to mind the colourful history of Australia’s greatest cross-country ski race. For most people however, the name is associated with a group of specialist retail stores catering for travellers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Experience Blog is a place to collaboratively share knowledge, adventures and inspire each other to enjoy the outdoors. We stand firmly by the motto that 'Experience is Everything' & strive to embody that philosophy within our community whenever possible.

Thanks for stopping by!
