Fireworks in Australia: An Australia & New Zealand Magazine Article

1 February 2012 Entertainment Australia

When I originally wrote this article for Australia and New Zealand magazine, it was highly topical. No prizes for guessing it appeared in their November issue then. Today it seems about three months out of date, but I like to think of it as being nine months ahead of its time. Remember, remember… When I [...]

Australian Holidays and Popular Destinations…

18 January 2012 Entertainment Australia

On Monday I wrote about Things To Do During the Long Summer Holidays. That article was about a long weekend away, but what do Australians do when they want the biggie, the two week (or more) summer holiday. Well, I’ve written about those sort of Australian holidays before as well, but this is the article [...]

Things To Do During the Long Summer Holidays.

16 January 2012 Entertainment Australia

As you know, it’s summer here in Australia and we are still in the school summer holiday period. And during these times, we try to do the best we can to keep our children amused. With Christmas and New Year’s Eve slap bang in the middle of our summer holidays, that’s a couple of weeks [...]

The Myer 2011 Christmas Parade in Brisbane

23 December 2011 Entertainment Australia

Here in Australia the closest you will get to John Lewis or Debenhams is a store called Myer. We also have a store called David Jones, but today I’m talking about Myer because they went to the trouble of putting on a Christmas parade here in Brisbane. Apparently, they’ve been doing this kind of parade [...]

Australia versus the UK: Price of Seeing Eddie Izzard Live…

What I Missed in Australia

4 November 2011 Entertainment Australia

The Queen. Of course, as I was out of the country, the Queen was in it. She was on her 16th visit to Australia. I’m sure both here in Australia and back in the UK, the news has been full of stories about her tour. So I am going to zoom forward to her very [...]

Why Most Australians Holiday in Australia.

2 November 2011 Entertainment Australia

Ok, enough of this BobinThailand stuff; I’m back in Oz now. Time to start talking about life in Australia again. But before I do, it would be rude of me to not at least mention that we all had a fantastic time in Phuket. I clearly had some concerns about the weather before I left, [...]

What is Wrong With BobinOz?

28 October 2011 Entertainment Australia

By now I had hoped to be able to publish my first ever live post from Thailand. It was going to be my BobinThailand Special. The fact that you are seeing this post (one that I prepared earlier) instead, means that for some reason or other, it hasn’t been possible for me. This can only [...]
