Melbourne Moves Into Second Place…

14 March 2011 Australia's Places

The latest results for the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Liveability Poll 2011 are out, how exciting is that? Well, not at all really. Why? Because, by and large, there’s very little change from last year’s Economist Intelligence Unit’s Liveability Poll. So, maybe I don’t need to write a post today at all, all I need do [...]

Hamilton, Suburb of Brisbane. Very Nice….

21 February 2011 Australia's Places

We wanted to go out for the day on Saturday, but we didn’t want to go far. So we did and we didn’t. We went to Hamilton, a suburb very close to the city and probably the most expensive area for property in all of Brisbane. Well, it is by the river. First we took [...]

And the Best City in Australia to Live in Is…

9 February 2011 Australia's Places

As you probably all know, here at BobinOz.com we love a good survey. Well, such a survey was released on January 22nd but, at the time, there was so much going on that it slipped me by. But thankfully, today, nothing major has happened which is great news, and gives me the chance to tell [...]

The Great Australian Doorstep, Back on the Road.

15 October 2010 Australia's Places

For those of you who have been reading my blog from the very beginning (hello mum), you will recall that way back in January 2009, in only the fourth post on this blog, I announced we’re all going on a summer holiday. And with that announcement I began my Australian road trip and first port [...]

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

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?

28 May 2010 Australia's Places

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. I have already quite comprehensively covered Uluru so now, here’s the other stuff. Pretty much slap bang in the middle is the one large town, Alice Springs. And, [...]

To Climb Uluru or Not to Climb Uluru?

26 May 2010 Australia's Places

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 [...]
