Time for another reprint, digitally speaking, of one of my articles for Australia and New Zealand magazine; this one appeared in their June 2013 edition. If you recall, I’m doing a little miniseries about “Plane Hopping” in Australia and so far I have written two articles: Plane Hopping in Australia: My Visit to Adelaide Seeing [...]

In last months reprint of one of my articles in Australia and New Zealand magazine I spoke about Interstate Rivalry in Australia: A Few Nicknames. That was, in many ways, a precursor to some articles about my plane hopping experiences here in Australia, as the first paragraph will explain. By coincidence, the first city that [...]
