Time has just flown eh, with barely enough time to get a stubby from the eskie, put another prawn on the barbie or run for the now needed dunny. Over 10 weeks have been skied, trekked, drunk, dived and toured away -and I've barley scratched the surface ... Read more >

I can now see why my mate Andy fell in love with this area. It wasn't immediately obvious for me; mainly because it takes me 2 trains and an expensive taxi to get here, and then another hour wandering around trying to find somewhere to stay. At least ... Read more >

I'm lucky it's not peak season or my boat would have been crowded. I'm also lucky that there was no other certified divers on board, or i would have had a really crap dive. I do have a really leisurely day on a boat, cruising around some of the Whitsunday ... Read more >

Picture this...it's night time, the stars are glorious, fire flies flicker gently on and off while flying through the trees, the forest has a haunting quality...magnetic island is beautiful. Roaring out of the bush comes a stretched jeep, swerving violently ... Read more >

After my visit to Port Douglas I'm back in Cairns - it's time to see the reef as it's best appreciated - by air. I go for whatever the best bargain is i can get, and end up with a seaplane. That suits me fine - more chance of surviving a crash. My ... Read more >

It's an interesting story behind the 'putting on the map' of Port Douglas. Allegedly Christopher Skase former owner of the Sheraton hotel spent 100's millions of money that wasn't his on super rich complex and palm trees. Along came the stock market ... Read more >

My late arrival introduces me to Cairns, a packed bus and an old fat, man who has to squeeze his way to the front seat. The bus driver has his laptop next to the seat and asks the passenger to ne careful. The next thing you hear is the bus driver screaming:... Read more >

"All right me old mucka", "I've had a look at your blog and it's pretentious crap" says my Aussie mate Jason in a way of a greeting. I knew there was a reason I'd stayed a week longer than I'd liked in the Adelaide area. Staying ... Read more >

I'd like to throw the map away and prove my blog title to be true. It would make little difference however, maps, music, me and driving are a disastrous combination. Fortunately it's very easy to drive in Australia outside the cities. Long straight ... Read more >

I've entered the twilight zone; a one street surreal wonder of a place that's a far cry from the Mansfield i grew up in. The plan was to go horse riding and experience the true essence of the Snowy River man. I should have learnt by now - this isn't ... Read more >

I can see why there's a perceived competition between Sydney and Melbourne, they're both great cities so it's a tough call as to who is better. After three separate visits, and one week of staying here my vote goes to Melbourne. I just found the city ... Read more >

I've got a 3 bed room to myself, a half drunk of surprisingly bad Peter Lehman Shiraz, a huge bag of Cadbury chocolate and a little pair of speakers pumping out nothing but pure emotions. My friendly host for the last 2 weeks has got on with her life ... Read more >
