Middle of nowhere

Monday, 7 Jul 2008 | Views [389]

If there was a nuclear war, chances are the people of Coober Pedy would never notice. If there was a nuclear strike on Coober Pedy, chances are the visitors would never notice either, aside from the rather crispy locals. You can see a hell of a lot ... Read more >


Double feature

Monday, 7 Jul 2008 | Views [430]

If there’s one thing that Cat and I love, it’s movies. They are the one thing we will not save cash on while we are here. I guess it’s the equivalent of comfort food. If you’ve had a miserable day, it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, a cinema ... Read more >


Men in tight shorts

Monday, 7 Jul 2008 | Views [593]

I guess the human obsession with ball games is preferable to the human obsession with carpet bombing/decapitating/raping/looting people who can’t speak your language/won’t part with their oil/won’t dress their women up like tents. When you can’t play ... Read more >


Melbourne

Monday, 7 Jul 2008 | Views [512] | Comments [1]

Outside of the Segar household, there were the delights of Melbourne to assimilate and then turn into a few short paragraphs of guff. So here’s your guff.   The Botanic Gardens are just as beautiful as those in Sydney – we have ... Read more >


Andy and Shal

Monday, 7 Jul 2008 | Views [1115]

Okay, so it’s been a rather inconsistent journal, as all good travel journals should. Sometimes you’re having too much fun to write, other times you’re in too remote a location to use the internet. In our case, it’s probably the latter, mixed in with ... Read more >


Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Overflowing Poo

Friday, 13 Jun 2008 | Views [568] | Comments [2]

Just a quick tribute haiku to the new Indiana Jones movie, now I've had 2 weeks to stop crying, having sat through it in Adelaide: Screw you George Lucas; Stop raping my childhood; Star Wars and now this? I thank you. Other haikus in praise or hatred ... Read more >

Bit slack

Friday, 13 Jun 2008 | Views [324]

Sorry we're being so bad at updating the journal, we're on the road a lot at the mo, and so we're not getting enough time to update. Since our last entry (Lavers Hill), we've squeezed in Adelaide, the Flinders Ranges, Coober Pedy, the Nullabor, Esperance, ... Read more >

Real Life on the Farm (no, seriously)

Thursday, 15 May 2008 | Views [567] | Comments [3]

Okay, so my account of our three weeks of farm life wasn't entirely accurate. There may be less singing and more cow crap than I had previously admitted to. Lavers Hill is a tiny little town on the Great Ocean Road, so small we actually stopped there, ... Read more >


Life on the Farm

Friday, 9 May 2008 | Views [404]

As some of you may know, Cat and I are currently two weeks into a stint on a dairy farm in Lavers Hill, Victoria, about 10 minutes from the sea (if you check out the Twelve Apostles on Google, we're about 20 minutes from there). Because of our extensive ... Read more >

Occasionally serious

Thursday, 17 Apr 2008 | Views [548] | Comments [3]

Yeah, I bitch a lot, I find it strangely relaxing to get moaning out of my system here, so that my wife and those around me can experience the 100% pure love that is me. But don't get me wrong, I'm loving our time in Australia, and some things make ... Read more >


On the road (finally)

Sunday, 13 Apr 2008 | Views [1103]

We finally hit the road - destination Melbourne, via the wiggly ocean route. With the wind in our hair (the windows need to be open as the air-con doesn't work) and Led Zep on the radio we roared out of Sydney. Well, kinda. First we tried to register ... Read more >

Imaginary Public Nudity

Saturday, 29 Mar 2008 | Views [2834] | Comments [3]

It's not every day that I perform a striptease onstage in front of 60 strangers, and it would be remiss of me not to mention something of the event, for those unfortunate enough to miss my debut (and subsequent retirement). It's Melbourne Comedy ... Read more >
