What was the trip to the Top End of Australia about for me? Well, more than one thing obviously, however it all came about when a mate of mine suggested that we head to Cairns to see our beloved football team (Aussie Rules) the Western Bulldogs take on the Gold Coast Suns. The club is …
‘Stick ‘em up! Your money or your life!’ The catchcry reportedly (or maybe just in films) of Australia’s most notorious bush ranger, Ned Kelly. Glenrowan, in northern Victoria, is the place where his last battle with the law took place. He was taken from Glenrowan to Melbourne Gaol (worth a visit) and hanged for his …
Down the south of Jordan in the Middle East is a very special desert called Wadi Rum. I don’t write much about Jordan, probably because my memories are not so strong from my time there and my diaries are all gone, but it really was a great country to visit for a couple of weeks. …

Following on from yesterday's post I am staying with Iceland this week. A land of harsh beauty, thermal springs, and when I was there in July 1999 amazing blue skies it's very photogenic. I say that knowing I didn't take that many shots when I was there, and of course it was all on film …
‘Twas a long time ago now, on an island far far away, that I journeyed from the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, northwards to the top of the land and a little town called Akureyri. Which is honestly quite difficult to spell. Iceland had been an interesting place to visit in 1999, although I did not …
Oh yes, it's come around so quickly blink and you would have missed the year that was! Eurovision! When the countries across Europe come together for a song contest.
