Bad Day For Surfing at Lennox Head

9 June 2010 Australian Climate

If you journey south from Brisbane, taking the coastal route, you’ll go past Surfers Paradise after about an hour and a quarter on the road. Keep going and after about two and a half hours you’d be at Byron Bay. Well, just a wee tad past there is a small seaside town called Lennox Head. [...]

Yesterday, Sunday, May 9, was Mother’s Day here in Australia. Apparently, a typical mums day treat is to take her to the park and cook for her on one of the many available free barbecue facilities.

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! [...]

Why It Is Inappropriate to Write About Life in Australia Today.

11 January 2010 Australian Climate

Regular readers will know that, more often than not, my post on Monday is about what we did at the weekend. But today, I’m finding it difficult to bring myself to do that. Why? As you will know, I used to live in Europe, England to be precise, and I still have friends back there, [...]
