Rude wombats and leaving Aus for Christmas

Two months ago I was sat in an internet café in Bali, whiling away some time looking at flight deals on the web. I came across one from Sydney to New York over Christmas at a pretty good price. Not thinking much more of this than perhaps to give it a surprised ’huh!’, I mentioned it briefly...

Melancholy Moment

Oh come on, we all get these sometimes, even in the Best Country In The World. Its probably on account of the shocking goon hangover I have from the house party I went to last night, or maybe its because those bloody gloves they made me wear at work yesterday irritated the fuck out of my hands...

The Will To Live Has Left The Dome

If you happen to catch the Hopman Cup on the telly at all, please spare a thought for the poor bastards that just spent an entire Saturday uncovering the courts when it was 40C outside and all their mates had gone to the beach. By Spare A Thought of course I mean Send Beer.

Back in the Big City !

Riffled back down to Perth…to spend a few more days checking out the big city. The trip back was the equivalent of Lands end to John O Groats It really is a fantastic city, not too big, very compact, but has the High Rise look of Docklands in London, but right in the heart of the city...
