Another Drive »

Like yesterday it was another beautiful day so this time i went the other way in Sorell and went to Port Arthur.
For those unaware, Port Arthur is a former penal colony with a dark and cruel history. Now its a mixture of old buildings and ruins as well as being a premier tourist attraction. [...]

Get It Back on Track »

I have come to the conclusion (although not from personal experience) that while for the new user, drugs might seem fun, in the end their only effect is to ruin lives.

Long Way to Drive on a Saturday »

Goodness what a busy day. I slept in late and then decided that since it was a nice day i should go for a drive. In the end i decided that my photoblog Bicheno Daily was quickly running out of fresh and original pictures to post so i went up the east coast with my [...]

These are the same ruins that i featured a couple [...]

There is something especially cool about a good pair of sunglasses. Think for a moment about Tom Cruise in Top Gun, would he have seemed as cool if he didn’t have the cool sunnies. A good place to get your own set of sunglasses that look cool is by shopping around for vintage sunglasses which [...]

Getting Fat »

I was thinking the other day that I have been putting on weight for some time now and not doing a lot about it. I guess it’s the risk of a stationary job and a love of blogging but I am thinking about taking an active interest in getting some weight loss so that I [...]

Reflections on the Derwent River at New Norfolk »

From Hobart Daily comes Reflections which i was lucky to see as i was passing through New Norfolk on friday. There was not a breath of wind in the air and the water was so still that even a duck lazily swimming along produced ripples that really stood out! I was there shortly before sunset [...]
