Where On Earth Is BobinOz?

31 October 2011 Life in Australia

Okay, now even I am worried about myself. I would have hoped that by now I could have made some kind of inter-web connection thingy, so that I could have brought you my first ever live post as BobinThailand. But this is not live. I preloaded this post into my WordPress schedule before I left [...]

What is Wrong With BobinOz?

28 October 2011 Entertainment Australia

By now I had hoped to be able to publish my first ever live post from Thailand. It was going to be my BobinThailand Special. The fact that you are seeing this post (one that I prepared earlier) instead, means that for some reason or other, it hasn’t been possible for me. This can only [...]

Does the Fun of Living in Australia Wear Off?

15 June 2011 Life in Australia

I wrote about the concept of the “three-year itch” about six months ago in my post called Moving to Australia and Missing England. Well, I say “wrote”, but it was more of a video post. But when I decided to cover the same subject for a recent Australia and New Zealand magazine article, I couldn’t [...]

An Australian Holiday, But Not Mine.

19 January 2011 Entertainment Australia

As those of you who read Monday’s article will know, I am now on holiday. But I still did want to put a post online today provided I could get an Internet connection here in Adelaide. Well, I can. But hold on! I’m supposed to be on holiday, shouldn’t I take a rest? No worries, [...]

Our Australian Roadtrip: The Highlights.

24 November 2010 Entertainment Australia

Not so fast! In Monday’s post when I was talking about our meal in the West End and deciding whether it was expensive or not, I said “But there is another way of comparing the cost of living between Australia and England. I think it’s better and I’ll explain it in full on Wednesday.” And [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Yippeee! I’m on Holiday.

17 May 2010 Entertainment Australia

Yes, as you’re reading this I’m not here. I’m on holiday. This is my first major holiday since our road trip back in January 2009. On that occasion we jumped into the car and we went from here, Brisbane, to Yamba – Port Macquarie – Sydney – Bateman’s Bay – Lakes Entrance – Melbourne – [...]
