My wife said to me that every time we fork out for an expensive hotel, we never get to stay long there. Well, never was this more true as the prologue to our most recent trip when we stayed at the Park Royal Hotel at Melbourne Airport. With a six AM flight the next morning, …

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, the fifth of October, marks the very end of this year’s Melbourne Fringe Festival – Starting midway to the second half of September each year …

Well, if you’d like a chance to see Australian Rules Football a bit more like the way it used be, there are state leagues with games on most weekends during the winter. It’s salt …
Well I've been back three weeks now. Life is fine, but will be a lot better when I can start work. Things are ok on the job front, just waiting to actually start. Technically I've been an unemployed bum since March and I think for my sanity more than anything else, the sooner I can …
