Rottnest Island - Night 144

(I managed to delete my photos from today so you’ll have to settle for some images stolen from the internet) Today I tackle Rottnest Island. The first ferry leaves Fremantle at 7:30am, and due to the overpromptness bred into me by my early bird family I arrived at the C Shed terminal...

The Last Australian Adventure: Part 2

I've wanted to go to Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras for years, this was on my ever expanding list of Things To Do Before I Die and what better year to go than the 30th anniversary of the event? It's not something you can write about not least because the power of coherent communication leaves...

How Proud Are We Really?

Today is Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras 2008, my personal Holy Grail of gay culture and this year is the 30th anniversary of the event that began when a hoard of queers marched down Oxford Street demanding acceptance and equality and the right to bulk buy sequins withour persecution, the...

On to Fremantle - Night 143

(I managed to delete my photos from today so you’ll have to settle for some images stolen from the internet) On my morning walk I came across a youth softball tournament, a friendly reminder that baseball season is right around the corner. It was so very nice to people swinging proper...

City Tour - Night 142

(I managed to delete my photos from today so you’ll have to settle for some images stolen from the internet) Five straight days of at or above 100 degrees I come down with a cold (dehydration is likely the culprit)….Anyways, being that today is the strangest of all days and that it is the end...

The Last Australian Adventure: Part 1

Arrived Sydney: 22/02/08 Left Sydney: 06/03/08 The initial plan was to move to Sydney before Mardi Gras, find work and live there until my visa expired but I love my job at the Sporties and didn't see the point in uprooting myself right at the end of my visa in order to go through the whole...

Perthin' It - Night 140

By virtue of having my own room, I managed to sleep past 6 am. What a delight. I had a slow morning just hanging around the house doing some reading. At 9am I walked down to the Meltham train station and hopped a train into town. TransPerth, the local transit authority, claims to have the...

Arrival in Perth - Night 139

I landed in Melbourne at 5am local time and had exactly 40 minutes before my next flight to Perth left. As one would expect, I had to change Terminals which meant going through a security checkpoint again and walking about a mile but I made it just in time to board. I began to wonder how my...
