We moved to Australia in November 2007. About 13 months later, I launched this website with a video called Our First Full Year in Australia. Since then, each time I’ve complete a full calendar year, I make another video. I now have four videos; 2008, 2009, 2010 and today I’ve added my video for 2011. [...]
Brisbane Floods
This post was going to be about something completely different, but the emotion of this historic event got the better of me in the end.

But our area isn’t just about shops, Australia isn’t just about shops. [...]
This blog is about what it’s really like to live in Australia. But what it’s really like to live in Australia isn’t like what it’s really like to live in Australia right now. What it’s like to live in Australia right now is completely different to what it’s normally like to live in Australia. This [...]
My post on Wednesday called how are you Bob pretty much summed up the events surrounding the flooding of Brisbane from a Western suburbs point of view.
