Last year I took Virgin Australia for the first time. A flight from Sydney back to Melbourne, then flying from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) and then back from Brisbane. Three flights in one year, all domestic, how did I find them? Virgin (worldwide and in Australia) is of course the airline of billionaire …

As promised, following my visit to Melbourne’s Eureka Tower, today I present a ‘Tower Rumble’ looking at towers I have gone up myself and seeing which provided the best experience. There is nothing like going up a tower when you’re in a city – especially if it’s a new city, to see the layout of …
Howdy all. Bringing back to my home city today, and yesterday I spent a awesome afternoon with fellow travel-blogger and friend of the blog, Tim Blight. Our task was to head up Melbourne’s tallest building – the Eureka Tower, to the 88th floor for a view of smoky Melbourne. The Eureka tower is just under …
Hi all. A photographic post today - heading to Senegal to the Island of Goree, a ferry ride from the capital Dakar. It's a pretty place to visit, but it hides a disturbing colonial past. Ile de Goree was, between the 15th and 19th centuries known for its role in the slave trade. It may …
Yes, another Sunday, another ‘Spotlight’, and today we’re heading to Georgia and its second (or maybe third) city of Batumi. It sits on the eastern edge of the Black Sea, and has a population of 155,000 or so (so not particularly big). However, it is pretty much Georgia’s second city, and it is by far …
Howdy all on this Thursday. Here in Melbourne the weather is as crazy as it’s ever been, making it’s way into the high-30s only to fall rapidly into the low twenties and the skies open up. Last week we had 44 degrees, today the forecast maximum is 21 but by Sunday it will be back …
Hey all to my second ‘Tasting’ segment on the blog. Today I want to talk about a dish, rather than a restaurant, which I had the pleasure of eating when I was in Iran. A good chance to point out that the plan is not for every week to be a restaurant review! I recall …
Okay. So here I’ve set myself up haven’t I? This is a really tricky face off between two BIG cities. One I’ve already had in a rumble before – that’s Moscow, when it faced off against compatriot Saint Petersburg. It didn’t quite win the race there. Will it fair any better against Germany’s capital?

Folks, the sequel to last week’s Travel Memories Cambodia Part One is here! I carefully and thoughtfully named it ‘Travel Memories – Part Two’ because you know, I’m very creative 🙂 Sooo last week I had recounted the journey from Bangkok through Poipet and Battambang to Siem Repp and the Temples of Angkor. This week …
It has been suggested to me that writing about food and restaurants is something I could do more of. Or any of, really! So I decided I would create a somewhat regular blog called ‘Tasting X’ talking about different places I have eaten apropos to some sort of review, I guess. I’m going to look …
