OMG Fangirling
So this is basically a massive brag on my part, I wanted to share with the internet that I met Geoffrey Rush today at the Arts Centre in Melbourne. They have been hosting an exhibition there called The Extraordinary Faces of Geoffrey Rush for a while and he kindly agreed to do a signing engagement. The following…

My Genre
I find it odd being told that something is ‘my genre’. I was told this on Saturday in my writing group. I had brought along two short, humorous poems which were both extremely well received. One of the comments made later was that this was clearly ‘my genre’, and was much more enjoyable than some…

Melbourne City Adventure
Yesterday I spent the day in the city centre of Melbourne with one of my oldest and dearest friends. He is really into photography and has an awesome photography based business back in Hobart. We chatted, had lots of cups of tea/coffee and wander around taking photos. These are some of the ones I took…

Alowyn Gardens Adventure
Today my housemate and I went on an adventure to Kinglake and Alowyn Gardens near Yarra Glen in Victoria. I took 125 photos, but I thought I’d just share some of the really good ones.

Abandonned
Today I went on an adventure and ended up in Mordialloc, a beach about half an hour from Melbourne. There is a boat repair place just back from the beach, along the creek, and in front of it are the skeletal remains of dead boats. I think the shadows in this one look a bit like…

Spring Flowers
This post is going to be mostly photos, with a little explanation at the start. Spring has been springing in Melbourne for about three weeks, the cherry blossoms are out, the days are sunny, yesterday I spent almost the whole day in a t-shirt! It’s very exciting after having endured a pretty cold and miserable…

Beach Walk Adventure
The last couple of days I have spent in a beach house in Tootgarook, about 1.5hrs down the coast from Melbourne. A friend of mine was having a birthday celebration and about 20 people all went away to help her celebrate. I hope that she had a fantastic time, I know I certainly did! On…
