Holidaying From Australia: It’s BobinThailand!

24 October 2011 Entertainment Australia

I imagine it must have been about 6 to 8 weeks ago we decided to have our first international holiday from Australia. Of all the countries in all the world, we chose Thailand. As you almost certainly know, the capital of Thailand is Bangkok, and that is where we flew in to on Thursday of [...]

21 October 2011 Entertainment Australia

When I moved to Australia, I flew here on a plane like this…. Yesterday, for the first time in almost 4 years of living here as a permanent resident, I flew out of the country on a plane like this….. So, as you are reading this, I am BobNOTinOz. So if I am BobNOTinOz, where [...]

Crazy Golf Australia Style!

14 October 2011 Entertainment Australia

About 30 kilometres east of where I live is a suburb called Carbrook. It has a golf course. Now I’ve only ever played golf twice in my life and didn’t much take to it. But if I were to ever play a third time, Carbrook would be the course I would like to play. Why? [...]

Coles Supermarket, Bellbowrie. Re-opens after the Brisbane floods.

5 October 2011 Entertainment Australia

This post was going to be about something completely different, but the emotion of this historic event got the better of me in the end. Mrs BobinOz popped down the road to the supermarket today, something she hasn’t been able to do for almost 9 months. When she got back home, she told me about [...]

Brisbane Festival vs Gold Coast Record Breaker

3 October 2011 Entertainment Australia

On Saturday we headed down to the Gold Coast for a party. It was our friend’s birthday so, of course, we had to celebrate. Very nice too. We stayed over, and Sunday morning we thought it would be rude to leave the Gold Coast without having breakfast in a seaside cafe. So we had breakfast [...]

30 September 2011 Entertainment Australia

I don’t believe it! It’s not fair! It should have been me! I’ve spent hours staring at the sea! And other shouty things with an exclamation mark! As you know, I’m not the world’s greatest whale watcher. I failed to spot one when I went to North Stradbroke Island. I got a small nanosecond glimpse [...]

Whale Watching With The Lucky People

23 September 2011 Entertainment Australia

It’s been an absolutely glorious week here in Brisbane, a great start to the spring school holidays. If this were England, we’d be talking about a summer heatwave. It’s not. It’s Australia. And it’s still only early spring. On Monday, as you know, Elizabeth went to Redcliffe with her mummy and some of her friends [...]

Australia Versus England: Beer and Pubs

7 September 2011 Entertainment Australia

This was my 14th article for Australia and New Zealand magazine and appeared in their July edition this year. The big surprise, for me, was that it took so long until I talked about my favourite subject. Beer. “I’ll have half.” No you won’t! I’ll come to that in a minute. Australia is a beer [...]
