Often times life is just so routine that writing a journal is like trying to describe honey to a bee. Then there is a whirlwind of action and you feel like you should be writing a movie script rather than a travel blog. So, the last few months haven't ... Read more >

Broome has never looked so appealing.
When viewed from 3,000kms away, it seems very much like the
quintessential oasis in the desert. The constant sunshine, palm trees
swaying in the gentle breeze, time slowing down like ... Read more >

After another 8
month sabbatical, sitting down to write is like sex with a girlfriend
you haven't seen in a long time. You know its good, and you really
enjoy it but you just can't seem to do it properly. You then stammer
out ... Read more >

As another utopian dry season twilight silences
the usual fun and frivolity of communal life in the staff crap shack, I use the
rare moments of peace to finally bring this journal up to date. I take another
long slurp of my frangelico and ... Read more >

I'm working up a sweat just
thinking about what to write. That's not because I'm whipping my brain like a
pack horse, it's just a constant by-product of life in Broome. Compared to
Hobart, it's like living inside an active volcano. Given that ... Read more >

Time has come for the winter migration. The chill slid into Hobart like the stranger who steals your seat at the bar, all bright eyes and cheesey smile. The trees decided not to fight the cold and burnt their leaves off in a fiery display of natures' ... Read more >

I was checking in for my flight from
Port Macquarie to Melbourne. The kind lady tagging my luggage assumed
that I would happily declare anything illegal or dangerous I was
smuggling. I was two hours early for the flight and panting like
being ... Read more >

One minute a nobody; a TV star the next. After my brush with fame is televised this Sunday morning, (Insiders ABC 9am) I'll be a nobody again. Unless some careful editing manages to portray me as perhaps, weatherman potential. I fear it may portray ... Read more >

Isn't life amazing? Such a claim may
seem like a great self-help book title, or that I've been watching
too many nature documentaries again, but its the only way I can
summarise my last week. I've gone from clueless and uncommitted to
stable ... Read more >

An old biblical saying goes 'He who bores of paradise, is indeed an idiot, or loves apples!' Old is a relative term seeing as I made up that saying, just like someone else probably made up the Bible, but it is most appropriate to my decision to leave ... Read more >

I'm back in Broome. My house is full of
strangers. The weather is a hot liquid overcoat. I am no longer a underwater
porcelain technician. All of these facts painted a rather scary picture on my
return home. Particularly with the financial freedom ... Read more >

I'm worried that I'll appear boastful if I
continue to write about just how good life is in Broome. Not that the place is
exclusively my domain, as the rapid increase in tourist numbers can attest to.
This party has an open invitation and I gladly ... Read more >

So I got myself a job as a 'dishy'. Not exactly evolving in the vocational scheme of things. Particularly when it's in a brewery, a place that offers the chance of rapid intellectual devolving. Aside from the universe again providing exactly what I ... Read more >

Farmers should quake whenever they see me approach their fields. I
have the cursed touch of Midas' evil twin. All harvesting work I do
carves through profits like a one man economic wrecking ball. I am
the best thing to happen to any farms ... Read more >

Four days of work is a good enough
reason to have the whole following week off. It's not by choice, but
it fits in so nicely with my plans that I cannot believe my
subconscious desires did not play a part in it becoming a ... Read more >

The last few weeks of my Spring time adventure in Bowen have passed in a blur of activity and hijinx. Sometimes it's better to just experience life as it happens rather than seeing it unfold from behind a camera lens or writers pen. Sometimes I'm ... Read more >

6 night shifts in a row. A sudden and significant increase in temperature. Gauge measures 28.5 degrees in our dorm at 6am. Sleeping in daylight is 3 to 5 hours of fitful napping, punctuated by tossing, a constant sheen of sweat and loud room mates ... Read more >

Isn't it funny how your opinion of a place improves when your workload changes from boot camp to boy scouts. One minute I am legging it to and fro like I've just discovered the ability to walk, and the next, I am lounging around working on my tan.... Read more >

pleasures have superseded creative output and coherent thought. Some
cosmic governing body decreed that frivolity and fortune seeking was
my new karmic currency after over ... Read more >
