Howdy all from the Gold Coast on my last day here, returning to Melbourne tonight. The weather has been brilliant, 25 - 27 degrees and mostly sunny the whole time, and I've really had a chance to unwind and enjoy where I'm at - yes first Sea World and then Movie Word - 'Hollywood on …

Hi all! Sorry to not ACTUALLY be 'throwing back' this week, but I thought I would share this video of the 41 participants of this year's upcoming competition, I watched it and I thought, honestly, that there's not a lot that stands out.

Hi all. Today I had two snorkelling experiences. It's been something I've wanted to do more of since I first tried it. The water here on the Gold Coast is around 25 degrees at the moment which is perfect for snorkelling. I went out on a boat early this morning to Wave Break Island, and …

Yes, Thursday means it's time to look back on the world's greatest song contest again, Eurovision, and today we are looking at power ballads over the years.

Hi all. Continuing on delivering an Australia-based post a week, today I wanted to talk a bit about getting around Australia by air. For the visitor to Australia, especially one with limited time on their hands, air travel is probably the most logical way to get around, simply because the distances are so great. A …
Howdy all, and it’s time for another face off between two opposing cities. Both in the Bengal area, but in different neighbouring countries, we have the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka facing off with the city that put Mother Theresa on the map, the city formerly known as Calcutta, Kolkata. Kolkata sits in the eastern part of …
