This is what life in Australia is all about. I was in Fig Tree Pocket the other day, that’s a little suburb in Western Brisbane. I was checking out the free barbecue facilities. If you have two minutes to spare, why don’t you check out those BBQ’s with me. Why would you want to do [...]

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, [...]

Taken For a Ride in Melbourne

30 January 2009 Australia's Places

After staying up until 3 o’clock in the morning watching Premiere league football (I will NOT call it soccer! the Aussies picked the wrong horse with that) I was a little bleary eyed behind the wheel the following morning.
