Today’s post has come about because on my recent trip I went to two high towers to see the views in Sydney and Auckland. It’s always a fun thing to do when you arrive in a city, to find a high tower often purpose built for the views (along with communication reasons too), so here …
Howdy folks and greetings from Sydney! Hope this short post finds you well. The trip is already a much welcome break from life and indeed work. A quick run down of what's happened so far. Well it all started with my sister's wedding on Saturday and from there my wife and I headed to Melbourne …
Hi folks. Train Journeys returns today for a quick look at a steam train that operates in Victoria, not too far from Melbourne town. The Mornington Railway runs a service on broad gauge three Sundays a month from Moorooduc to Mornington and back, three trains on the Sunday in each direction. It’s not a …
Bringing things back to Melbourne for today’s post! I want to start by saying that I am not a major fan of museums per se. I have visited an awful lot of them I admit, and the quirky and different museums tend to be far more enjoyable to me than the stock standard ones. You …

Today marks the 100th year anniversary of the allies landing on the beaches of Gallipoli. Although I don't normally go in for doing the same thing as every other Australian, 11 years ago I visited the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey as part of my round the world trip, and was taken aback by the place. …
As I have mentioned before, Melbourne is not short on festivals. If you're a fan of drama, comedy, or just like to see a show from time to time, you can do a lot worse than head to Melbourne at the right time of the year when a festival is on. Right now we are …
