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 >

Its a sorry story when the best thing about
a place is leaving there. Even more so when it is only for two days. With a
weekend off for Rachel, and the 'Australia' movie shrines and Big
Mango sightings exhausted, we decided to venture further ... Read more >

What drugs was I on when I thought of returning to Bowen? Anyone who reads my ramblings will be able to answer that question, but they won't win anything for their trouble. I drive around amazed that the fond memories I have of the place seem so far ... Read more >

4,500 kms is a long way to travel and I knew it was not going to be easy. Given that someone else flew the plane for me most of the way, the biggest strain was on my wallet. The 620 km driving stint I did was my most challenging task, but I still managed ... Read more >

Everybody needs holidays. Some of us need them more often than others. If I don't have a holiday every few months at least, I start entertaining thoughts of regicide. Everybody needs sex as well. If I don't have any sex for a few months at least, I ... Read more >

I can take my too-cool-for-school sunglasses off now because some of the shiny gloss has been taken off of Broome. I'm still as happy here as a four year old with a new toy. Or a forty year old. Familiarity breeds somehow, and its offspring is considered ... Read more >

The effeminate air in this house is obviously starting to
have an effect on me. I'm not prepared to wear make up, gossip with
sacrilegious fervour or watch 'Dirty dancing' on a weekly basis yet. I have
developed an unhealthy obsession with Frangelico ... Read more >

You can't share a house with 8 women and not have delusions
about being the next Hugh Heffner. My playboy mansion might be disappointingly
short on silicon boobs, bikinis and bare bellies to snort coke off, but my bunnies
compensate by being genuinely ... Read more >

I think Fate either fancies me, or she has a wicked and
cruel sense of humour. Finding house mates is never an easy task. Either no one
calls, or the people that do, spend the initial interview talking about their
knife collection and how they perfected ... Read more >

If someone were to tell me that I have been in Broome for over three months now, I would call them a 'dirty, no good liar'. Then I would have to apologise profusely because apparently it is true. Over a month since my last journal, I find myself at a ... 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 >

Port Arthur is Tasmania's most famous
spot for both good and bad reasons. 'Most famous' and 'good and bad'
being subjective evaluations. I must contend that Port Arthur, and
probably Tasmania, was relatively unknown to me ... Read more >

Rockhampton
may seem like an unusual destination for someone like me. Rockhampton
is actually quite an unusual destination for anyone. It doesn't have
much to offer travelers in the way of tourist sites. Anyone who would
be interested ... Read more >

Easily
earned, easier spent. With no particular goal entertaining my
imagination, hoarding my savings seemed counter productive to me
personally solving the world economic crisis. Not much was happening
in Cairns, except for some hobo picking a fight ... 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 >

No sooner had I removed the last vestige of grit from private anatomical nooks and crannies, when some manical party machine decided to organise another 'fill up on intoxicants and sand' event. Yes, it was the only two other remaining Australians ... Read more >

A party on the beach. A bright moon approaching fullness. A raging fire and oil lamps ablaze. Enough intoxicants to wipe out all consciousness in a five kilometre radius. A gathering of close friends and strangers from the hostel. A plethora of gorgeous ... Read more >

Literary
productivity has dipped recently as hard work and hedonistic
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 >
