Uluru – The Movie

16 August 2010 Australia's Places

It’s been a while since I had my last holiday, May actually. Oh, that’s not so long ago is it? Anyway, if you remember, I went to Alice Springs and Uluru. I suppose most of you already know that Uluru is slap bang in the middle of Australia. Anyway, I realised over the weekend that [...]

Australia is All Spaced Out.

19 July 2010 Australia's Places
Restaurant Week

It is worth pointing out that here in Australia everything is a little spaced out. And I’m not talking about “Alice in Wonderland” space out, I mean the distances between places. I was reminded of this on Saturday when we decided to nip down to Broadbeach for a bite to eat and a stroll around. [...]

So, What’s it Really Like in the Middle of Australia?

Well, how can I put this? There’s not much about. Today I want to wrap up my adventures in the middle of Australia with this final report.

Uluru

That is the question. Did We Climb Uluru (Ayers Rock)? First, I need to explain a thing or two. I’m not a very spiritual geezer, I don’t “feel” things much. I mention this because, in hindsight, my post on Monday about Uluru was very matter of fact, in a way. But then, I see these [...]

Uluru

Last Monday I announced I was going on holiday and asked you to guess the location based on a few pointers that I gave you. Without too much hesitation, most people plumped for Uluru. Now, if you go to Google maps and ask for directions from Brisbane to Alice Springs you will see that big [...]

Brisbane Is Not on the Beach, But……

heart

… it doesn’t do bad for sun, sea and sand. I’ve been meaning to write a post about the South Bank Parklands for some time now, but for some reason I never seemed to get around to it. Until today. I showed you a glimpse of the Parklands a few weeks ago but felt it [...]

Australia: Far Too Dangerous and Way Too Livable

12 February 2010 Australia's Places

I feel such a fool. All the effort I have put into my category Australia’s Bad Things, with 46 post so far and probably more than 30,000 words and now I discover how I could have covered it all so much quicker. A couple of comedians managed to condense it into just over a minute! [...]

A Day at Byron Bay

8 February 2010 Australia's Places
this way

As you may recall from last week, we decided to escape to the beach for a while just so we could get away from the whirling swirling wind tunnel known as our bedrooms. Where we live in Brisbane may not be on the beach, but for some time we have been grateful to live in [...]
