A surprising aspect of our first trip to Australia was the food. We stayed at an AirBnB apartment in Quinns Rock, north of Perth, and therefore had to cater for ourselves. Nothing teaches you more about a community than what and how they eat. Perth, the city, has restaurants in spades, but the outer environs […]
I’m not a particularly good sleeper at the best of times, but this morning I awoke at 02:37 and could not get back to sleep. Jet lag is one reason I’m awake, typing away on a proper keyboard (what a delight compared to my travel keyboard) and my birthday is another reason I can’t sleep. […]
Well, we made it. My wife and I survived all that Australia could throw at us, which wasn’t too much as I only saw one tiny brown spider and the sharks and crocs were all in aquariums. What has knocked us both for six is the travelling. It took another epic journey to get back […]
Australia is full of stars, rather the night sky is full of stars. Here in Busstleton there is little in the way of light pollution so star gazing is great. The other thing this part of Australia has is a lot of beach camping areas. With fixed chalets and areas for tents/caravans, holiday camping is […]
The Internet! Who needs it? Well, I do, for one, and now we’ve moved our English expeditionary force from Perth to Bussleton it seems we have left technology behind. We arrived here, in Bussleton, south by three hours driving from Perth, to discover that the magic of the internet is available, but that it takes […]
Having never been to prison, it’s hard to imagine what it would be like to be locked in a cell for most of the day. So we decided to experience a stint inside, at Fremantle Jail. Fremantle’s a forty minute drive down the coast, south of Perth. You can either use the highway or the […]
At last press, it’s been revealed that Michael Wolff’s Fire & Fury is being made into a TV series. I’m not surprised, it is after all a great story and one of the few books I can honestly say I couldn’t put down. Although I’m not an American, I’ve followed Donald Truimp’s antics for years […]
Australia is a vast country. That is an understatement, obviously, but nevertheless true. This is the end of week one of our adventure in Australia and we have scratched the surface of Perth in Western Australia. Bad weather has partly curtailed our adventure though today is supposed to be a sunny day, though there is […]
In Australia it’s summertime. So we took a trip into the city to see the sights. Mother nature had other ideas. We found ourselves in the tailwind of a tropical cyclone and a day long downpour I have never experienced before. So, we did what all normal human beings do and sought shelter. We ended […]
Okay, so strictly speaking I have a keyboard and I’m willing to travel, so shoot me for artistic licence. Today, as at late January 2018, I’m down-under. Yep, we made it to Australia, but what a journey it’s been. Bring back steamboats and deckchairs! Day one of our Australian adventure actually involved travelling as opposed […]
