So, after swanning around Magnetic Island on the Providence, and staring out at a marina full of lovely boats for six days from our apartment, we’ve come back home to our view of the Bay with a hankering for a boat again. There is a massive expanse of coastal waterways to explore on our doorstep, […]
I present to you one beautiful bride, and declare my bias straight away because she is my daughter. After all the planning, the logistics of getting a wedding party, dresses, table decs, luggage, travel cot and pram, boxes of cakes, those bloody DIY lollipop bouquets, and the geriatric rellies, from BrisVegas to Townsville, and then […]
Quick Tip: Stay Regular by michelle w. on February 21, 2013 – Posted In The WordPress Daily Post This is the sort of ‘prompt’ that makes me really want to spit the dummy and pull the plug on WordPress, I am, as was once famously exclaimed in a meeting in one of my former workplaces, incandescent with rage.

For three days we were shuffled backwards and forwards between Alice Springs and Uluru so that we could see a sunset and a sunrise on this magnificent and incredible sight. Uluru really does change many different colours, and is also a very different shape depending upon which side you are on. Four months before setting […]
For the next three days we toured the surrounding area and discovered that squashing such a big trip into a short timetable has a few disadvantages, namely, coach travel. No offence, but this really is not the best way to see some of these incredible sights, and we got peevish very early on with old […]
Following yesterday’s post I’m concerned that some of you may have doubted the folding loo story, and that’s a fair call as I am very hard to take seriously, but………behold! That my friends is NOT a holiday, we were travelling on The Ghan not The Calcutta Express remember. And no, I’m not posting a photo […]
I’m being ultra lazy as all good students are and posting fragments from a letter I sent my Mum after our 2009 trip up the middle of Australia on The Ghan. Yes really. Question: Is it plagiarism if you are re-hashing your own work that your Mother has already seen fit to copy and disseminate […]
