Okay, let’s kick off 2012 with my favourite subject. Snakes! The Coastal Taipan is one of Australia’s most dangerous snakes.

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.

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. But yesterday morning at around 11.30 our electricity was restored, which has allowed me to fire up my PC again and make this video for you. I also [...]
