When I originally wrote this article for Australia and New Zealand magazine, it was highly topical. No prizes for guessing it appeared in their November issue then. Today it seems about three months out of date, but I like to think of it as being nine months ahead of its time. Remember, remember… When I [...]
Australia And New Zealand
Time for another reprint of one of my recent articles for Australia and New Zealand magazine. With impeccable timing, given the cockroach and snake posts of last week, today I’m going to be talking about Australia’s ‘other’ wildlife; the nice stuff. With articles like this, I have an advantage over the magazine, even if I [...]
This year, Brisbane apparently had its coldest winter for 11 years. As I write this, winter is well and truly behind us. Today was not exactly scorchio, but it was a beautiful clear and sunny day with temperatures hitting around 28°C. That’s about 82°F or so. But when I wrote this article for the August [...]

As you probably know, I like to reprint my written articles from Australia and New Zealand magazine about a month after they have appeared in the paper and ink version in the UK. I’m still running a bit behind, but today I have the article that appeared in January’s edition. I’ve written a few posts [...]
It’s been a while since I posted one of my Australia and New Zealand magazine articles here on this blog.
