Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
Hey all. Well it’s official, I think. I think I hate my home airport, Melbourne’s Tullamarine. There are plenty of reasons not to like it, but after my last trip there, I’m pretty much fed up. There are two pressing issues with Melbourne’s main international airport. The first is the distance. Having to get there last week in morning peek

Today I’m once again chatting to Rob Lloyd, friend of the blog who recently returned from touring the UK touring his show ‘Who, Me’ to various spots around England and its neighbours. Last night I got to see Rob’s latest show, a totally improvised show with his good friend David Innes. It was an absolute riot! And there was loads

I think there are several ACMIs around the world, and there has been one in Melbourne for many a year now, as part of Federation Square, and a few weeks back I took the opportunity to finally visit it for the first time. What is ‘ACMI’ I hear you say? It’s a museum for cinema and the ‘moving image’ (so

Hi all! Today I’ve done a bit of an interview with Friend-of-the-Blog Rob Lloyd and his partner Caitlin. Why? Well it’s heading into Winter soon, but they’ve got a brand new show on ‘Wizard Actors – A Brief History of Magic’ next week in Melbourne. If you’re a Harry Potter fan, or a theatre fan, or would like to check

Yep. Howdy everyone up in the Northern Hemisphere, down under here in ‘Straya it’s Summer, which has been pretty hot in Melbourne on the whole. As I write this post, a few days before it will be published, the rain has moved in. Yesterday we sweltered through 40 degrees with high humidity (this Summer has been humid, which is not

Melbourne is regarded as a pretty big city when it comes to terms of physical size, from west to east. The truth is that parts of what are considered ‘Melbourne’ could easily be considered separate towns in their own rights. In fact, it’s really not clear what is technically ‘Melbourne’ and what isn’t! At some point down the Mornington Peninsula,

Hi everyone. The Melbourne Fringe Festival is on again! Friend of the Blog Rob Lloyd has another amazing one man show running this year, an adaptation of the 1955 book by Jack Finney. I thought I’d do a little post to plug his show. The setting is Santa Mira, and Rob portrays Dr Miles Bennel, the town doctor. We follow

It HAD to come eventually, you know it did! The rumble to end all rumbles. As far as Aussies are concerned I guess. Well. Those who don’t live in Brisbane I guess. And maybe Adelaide and Perth. Anyhoo… Sydney and Melbourne both have quite a bit to offer the visitor. They are loads of little differences between the two cities.

In 2015 I went to the Sydney Aquarium, which wasn’t too bad all said, but earlier this year I had the chance to visit the Melbourne Aquarium and compare the two. I’ve got to say I think Melbourne has Sydney covered in this regard. The Melbourne Aquarium is pretty well located in Melbourne. There’s a tram that goes past it

There are many museums for many reasons around the world from the torture museums in Bratislava and Sigisoara to the Hat Museum in Kumasi, Ghana (sadly one I haven’t got to yet). Then there are the occasional sport museum, and Melbourne has its very own, at the largest and most famous sporting ground in the country, the MCG. If you’re
