So I have this category called Australia’s bad things. This is where I talk about the frightening killers that roam freely around Australia, like the spiders, snakes, the crocodiles and the sharks to name just some. But as I’m sure anyone who reads this blog regularly will already know, I don’t really think they are [...]

Even I was not prepared for what is coming up in this post, and I write it! Let me explain. I sat down to write today’s post and unusually, I didn’t have a clue what I was going to write about. Then I thought to myself “I haven’t added any Australian bad things lately, perhaps [...]

I think you know what’s coming. Anyway… Yesterday was another bank holiday Monday here in Australia, this time for Labour Day.

Australia hasn’t been a barrel of laughs lately. There have been bush fires in Western Australia, a tornado in north Queensland, severe flooding in southwest Queensland with around 500 homes (and rising) affected and, of course, that almost but not tsunami.

I had an email from a reader called Dottianne the other day, and she has rightly pointed out that the pictures of the possums over at my post called Strange Australian Back Garden Beastie Sound Explained are not, how can I break this to you, possums.
