This isn’t the first time I’d been to Thailand – I visited Bangkok for a couple of days back in 2013, namely to go and visit the Tiger Temple – however this is the first time that I have been to a dedicated resort town. The thing is that I’m not really the type of … More Phuket Phenomena – The Thai Experience
It is my last day in Singapore and I decided to try and visit as many museums as possible, which included one that I never realised existed. … More Singapore Story – The Museum Tour
Well, continuing on from my previous post I was standing on the southern side of the bay where I had just taken a couple of selfies (and that part of the bay I must admit offers the best panoramic view of the Downtown Core and the Marina Bay Sands hotel). However my next task was … More Singapore Story – A Little bit of China
From what I gather most people who visit Singapore never manage to get beyond the airport. Now that is not necessarily a bad thing because there is heaps to do there (such as watch a movie, shop duty free, load up on cigarettes to take back to Australia – though you can’t actually do that … More A Singapore Story – Touching Down
Well, it has been about seven years since I was last in Brisbane, and since I have been to Sydney quite a number of times in the past couple of years I decided that I would go somewhere a little different. Mind you, I’ve never seen my football team (Port Power) play at the Gabba … More Exploring Brisvegas
Every time I drive into Warrnambool I see the odd structure sitting over the skylike, and because is to so noticeable I instantly want to find out what it is. Okay, you can also see the steeples and towers of the various churches as well, but you can generally tell that they belong to the churches (which is quite helpful when you are looking for a church, because you can see the steeples and towers, but unfortunately they generally don’t tell you what that church actually is – though I’ve never accidentally wandered into a room full of cultists). … More Fletcher Jones – More than just an abandoned factory
Well, I guess every major town deserves an art gallery, even if it turns out that there isn’t all that much inside – which is what I discovered at the Warrnambool Art Gallery, otherwise known as The WAG (though that sounds like something you do when you don’t want to go to school, however it is also interesting that when you are working, you don’t wag work, you chuck a sickie – or at least that is what you do in Australia). … More Warrnambool Art Gallery – A collection of Random Paintings
Once I had finished my brief visit to Glebe (though I am sure there is more of this place that I could visit) I jumped back onto the tram to continue my exploration of Sydney’s inner west. It was partly fortunate that the tram I had jumped on was terminating at Lilyfield, which was my next destination. So, the tram trundled into the tunnel (which was an old railway tunnel for the freight line that terminated at Glebe harbour) and out the otherside. … More Leichardt – Sydney’s leafy inner west
The one thing that has always baffled me about Two Wells is that I’ve never been able to find the two wells from which the town gets its name. However, according to Wikipedia, the name originated from when the town was first settled as the colonists used the two Aboriginal wells in the area to water their cattle. I guess that makes a bit more sense now, but I still remember one day I actually drove up here to see if I could find these two wells. … More Two Wells – Adelaide meets the country
This is arguably one of my favourite drives in Australia (though the Illawara Highway south of Sydney comes in a very close second). To date I have driven along the route four times, the first being just after New Years Eve 2000 when I was in Melbourne with a friend and we wanted to take the scenic route back to Adelaide. … More The Great Ocean Road – A Scenic Wonder
