The Brookfield Show – Brisbane

18 May 2009 Entertainment Australia

This weekend it was the Brookfield Show 2009, an annual event put on by Brookfield Show Society. I went to this same show last year, and I’m sure that this years event was even bigger than the last. Brookfield is in the western suburbs of Brisbane and if you love horses you’ll love Brookfield, or [...]

The Most Amazing Guarantee Offered by Anyone in the Whole Wide World

12 May 2009 Entertainment Australia

Saturday was rather a strange day for us. I first realised it was going to be a weird day when I met Austin Powers. Then, no sooner had he gone, when Tweetie Pie turned up closely followed by Batman, Catwoman, Scooby Doo and all his mates. Yes, you guessed it! We went to….. But that’s [...]

Not Quite the Australian Outback But…

27 April 2009 Entertainment Australia

If you travel into the deepest, darkest depths of the western suburbs of Brisbane, you will eventually arrive at a small community called Moggill. Once a year Moggill has a fete. That once a year was yesterday. I live quite close to Moggill, so there are no prizes for guessing where we went on Sunday. [...]

Australia Almost Qualify for the World Cup Finals

6 April 2009 Entertainment Australia

Australia almost became the first team to qualify for the World Cup Finals. Had Bahrain drawn with Qatar instead of winning 1-0, the Aussies would have been celebrating their second World Cup final in a row. As it stands, they just need one more point from their last three games in the group. They secured [...]

11,000 Miles From Friends and Loved Ones

30 March 2009 Entertainment Australia

For some people the idea of emigrating to Australia represents “a move too far”. To be 11,000 miles from all those friends, acquaintances, loved ones and relatives is often just too hard to bear. You can argue to yourself that they will, of course, visit. Hey! – it can be even better. Where you used [...]

Scuba Diving at The Great Barrier Reef Anyone?

As I mentioned in a previous post about Hamish, my son, Tom, who is here on holiday, was off to Cairns for a week on a diving course. Today he got back. He has completed his six day course, four days of which were spent at sea. He did 14 dives and hit a maximum [...]
