Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
If there are three main images of landmarks that foreigners associate with Australia, I’m guessing they are Uluru, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the incredible building that sits opposite it over the harbour just a tad, the Sydney Opera House. I visited at some point as a kid, I don’t really remember when exactly, but I don’t think I really

Hi All! A little shout out to a place I went a little while ago, and a place I’ve been a few times in this ol’ life, the Healesville Sanctuary, which is around 75 – 90 minutes from Melbourne. Whilst you will find a number of really good zoos in many cities in Australia, I think Healesville is quite special

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

Hi all. Well every year… most years, I have a Eurovision post. It happened around 48 hours ago now, the 2018 Grand Final of Eurovision in Lisbon, Portugal. So here we go for this year’s thoughts, and not just this year’s but thoughts on Eurovision’s incredible 62 and a bit years of competition. 1956 saw the first competition, this year

Howdy all. A post from home, about home. Well, something that happened in my home town. An event I attended. I mean, I was trying to think of the word that describes something like ‘Supanova’. It’s a sort of Comic-Con with a different name I guess. I also guess fans of Comic-Cons possibly would violently and passionately dispute that, but

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

An hour and a half to two hours drive from Melbourne you’ll find Phillip Island, which honestly is a really beautiful spot and if you have an interest in wildlife then you’ll love a few days here. It’s great for anyone really, but especially for families as there are a number of activities you can take them to as well.

How’s it all going wherever you are in the world? Down here in Victoria, Australia, well, the weather is doing it’s best to be very unpredictable. Melbourne has a reputation for dishing out ‘four seasons in one day’, and it’s a reputation well deserved. Temperatures go up and down like a yoyo, especially in Summer, Last week we had a

Howdy all. Hope you are well and getting into the new year with a smile on your face! Sorry you haven’t heard too much of me of late. Actually I’ve been occasionally checking the views I am getting and finding they aren’t down as much as I was expecting, which is interesting because you know I spent much of 2017

Yes! It’s time to highlight my own home town, the Victorian city of Melbourne in the south-east of Australia. How do I start though? What should I talk about? The bad points – crime, the sorry state of public transport?? (although the trams are cool) Or should I be unashamedly biased and only say good things even though surely not
