Australian Civil War

17 June 2011 Entertainment Australia

Australia don’t do civil wars, instead they have this: State of Origin. I’ve talked about State of Origin on a couple of occasions before. I saw my first State of Origin match in June 2009 and wrote about it in my post it’s all happening in Queensland. So if you’re not sure what it is, [...]

The Premier of Queensland and the Lord Mayor of Brisbane….

7 June 2011 Entertainment Australia

Yes, live here on BobinOz! Well, it was when I saw them…. Saturday was a very special day for our good friends Mark and Louise and their family. Mrs BobinOz and I were honoured to be in attendance. The venue was the Suncorp Piazza at South Bank Parklands; you’ll remember I saw Tropfest there a [...]

The RSPCA Million Paws Walk 2011

16 May 2011 Entertainment Australia

Walkies! Every year the RSPCA a holds a sponsored walk, dogs included of course, to raise money for their organisation. This year, more than most years, they really needed the money. One of their Brisbane locations was completely devastated by the floods and the money was desperately needed to get it back up and running [...]

A Barbeque on an Australian Mountain

9 May 2011 Entertainment Australia

Here in Australia, yesterday was Mother’s Day. Now I know it wasn’t Mother’s Day in the UK, but I can assure you it was Mother’s Day in most other places around the world. But then you probably know that from reading my post about Mother’s Day from a couple of years ago. So Mrs BobinOz [...]

William and Kate in Australian TV Takeover Bid

29 April 2011 Entertainment Australia

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is currently out of the country. But I reckon she stays in touch with what is happening here in Australia by reading my blog. How else can we explain her recent statement in which she suggested that the Australian people have disengaged with the republic debate as a result of [...]

Australian Carbon Tax and My New Favourite Aussie Pollie

4 March 2011 Entertainment Australia

I had a good idea of what I was going to do for today’s post when I was walking around the Harbour Town shopping complex over at the Gold Coast last weekend. You see, books here in Australia are quite expensive, but just as in the UK, we have cheap book shops too. Five dollars [...]

A Day on the Beach: Labrador, Gold Coast

28 February 2011 Entertainment Australia

I can’t remember the last time we went to the beach. Oh yes I can, yesterday! Of course, I meant before that. We came close to being on the beach when we went to Lota to celebrate three years living in Australia. Before that, who knows? But we went yesterday. You see, with all the [...]

Tropfest 2011: I Want My Money Back!

25 February 2011 Entertainment Australia

Well, that’s what I would be demanding if it wasn’t that Tropfest is yet another of the many Australian outdoors event that is completely free of charge. For those of you who are really only interested to read about the life in Australia stuff rather than me having a rant, click these links to read [...]
