Wet N' Wild Water World

One of the best things about being a Brit in Australia is the fact that my idea of cold differs completely from everyone else’s which means we get to enjoy water parks in what is officially winter while the locals are curled up on their sofas clutching a Cup-A-Soup and shivering. No...

On The Move

So this is our home until they forcibly remove me from the country, it’s small (11ft long) but it’s perfect for us. It’s got pretty much everything we need including a TV so we can get hopelessly addicted to the Aussie Big Brother, a gas stove so Emma can cook and I can stand behind her...

Things That Are Impossible

Looking cool on a Bright yellow rental scooter. The shame. Alas other impossible things include making the most of a place this size without your own transport; Whilst "Just Up The Road" for a Brit means nipping round the corner to the offy for 2 litres of cider and a Kit Kat over here...

Bris Vegas

I’ve spent the last week racking my brains, trying to think of something suitably interesting to say about Brisbane (which is where I'm staying with John at the moment) but I’m not that good at fiction. With its high rise buildings, Big Issue sellers on every corner and throngs of suits it...

Things That Can Kill You #1

Pedestrian crossings. No really, they're lethal. Just because the little man is green it doesn't mean you won't get mown down by a vehicle turning in from the side. Haven't got anything more interesting to say right now as I was brutally force fed large quantities of alcohol for the first...

The Australian Mobile Office

Believe it or not, if you spend enough time sipping Mai Tais on a tropical beach, you will eventually get bored of it. After 4 months in Thailand, I was ready for a change. How about a last minute, 60 day return ticket to Australia? I hear they've got surf there. So, with the promise of...

Its been an eventful time in Australia since i arrived. the weather as you can imagine here in the northern area around Cairns is really hot! I managed to spend the first few days settling in, losing cash, then bank cards on another day, enjoying a realxing session in the lagoon and finally...
