What drugs was I on when I thought of returning to Bowen? Anyone who reads my ramblings will be able to answer that question, but they won't win anything for their trouble. I drive around amazed that the fond memories I have of the place seem so far ... Read more >

Everybody needs holidays. Some of us need them more often than others. If I don't have a holiday every few months at least, I start entertaining thoughts of regicide. Everybody needs sex as well. If I don't have any sex for a few months at least, I ... Read more >

I can take my too-cool-for-school sunglasses off now because some of the shiny gloss has been taken off of Broome. I'm still as happy here as a four year old with a new toy. Or a forty year old. Familiarity breeds somehow, and its offspring is considered ... Read more >

The effeminate air in this house is obviously starting to
have an effect on me. I'm not prepared to wear make up, gossip with
sacrilegious fervour or watch 'Dirty dancing' on a weekly basis yet. I have
developed an unhealthy obsession with Frangelico ... Read more >

If Broome has a short coming, it's that it's not a road trip. It's a bit too stationary for that. It's not actually a lot of things, like a toaster, philosophical thesis or belly button lint to list but a few. Most things obey the laws of physics and ... Read more >

Our first destination was the Bungle Bungle's. Knowing nothing of them prior and being given no clue by their name, we arrived with few expectations. Good thing too as it was night time when we finally made it. I was driving by then and ploughing through ... Read more >

I woke up before Lady Luck to find my tongue stuck in quicksand, my mind stuck in neutral and my pillow stuck to my face with drool. With BYO booze, my wallet had been a superfluous accompaniment to the night but had somehow managed to get lost in its ... Read more >

Soon after it was time to eat before the 4am dry heaves started 12 hours too early. We stopped at the Halls Creek roadhouse where everyone's name could have been Bates, Bundy or Manson for all I knew. Spratty took affront to Mr. Roadhouse's service ... Read more >

So I got myself a job as a 'dishy'. Not exactly evolving in the vocational scheme of things. Particularly when it's in a brewery, a place that offers the chance of rapid intellectual devolving. Aside from the universe again providing exactly what I wished ... Read more >

Farmers should quake whenever they see me approach their fields. I
have the cursed touch of Midas' evil twin. All harvesting work I do
carves through profits like a one man economic wrecking ball. I am
the best thing to happen to any farms ... Read more >

After a fond farewell to our Canadian
duo, we high-tailed it out of Hobart leaving a Hansel and Gretel like
trail of money behind us. We planned to cover the state in four days
and were aware most of that would have to be ... Read more >

The Apple Isle. A tasty destination if
ever I heard one. But as delicious as it sounds, the only people
licking their lips were the people catering to / cashing in on the
tourists. Towns are so small and devoid of business ... Read more >

With my left leg
now tattooed from ankle to knee, I'm starting to think that enough is
enough; maybe. Not that the tattoo addiction has subsided any. It's
just that I have lost faith in my ability to distinguish between a
talented artist and ... Read more >

6 night shifts in a row. A sudden and significant increase in temperature. Gauge measures 28.5 degrees in our dorm at 6am. Sleeping in daylight is 3 to 5 hours of fitful napping, punctuated by tossing, a constant sheen of sweat and loud room mates ... Read more >

Not much changes here and hence, there isn't much of interest to write about. My last rambling post is proof of my efforts to make something out of nothing. When something interesting happens, I usually rush to my laptop to describe it for the friends ... Read more >

I'M BAAAAAACK!!!! :-D Hehehhee, did you miss me?? Figuratively speaking of course, since I just spend the last 4 months hanging out with most of you. For those of you I didn't get to see, and for the cancellation of the open house this past Sunday, ... Read more >

So last night around seven, parades began through the main square for Semana Santa. There were children everywhere dressed up in little purple gowns (it's for Easter, but they looked like they were on their way to Hogwart's!), swinging smoking lanterns, ... Read more >

Amy: So two Canadians walk into a small restaurant in the Chilean town of Punta Arenas thinking they know exactly what they want and how to order it. When they are greeted by the hostess they confidently say they want the “completo” which is a ... Read more >

From the US, it was easy to simply look at Africa as a whole - blame white people for the distress all the countries are in and then want to come over to show that not all white people are the same. Yes, this will be a bit of a racial blog with harsh ... Read more >

Greetings readers! Won't bore you with the same "I work and sleep, therefore I am" story but thought it might amuse a few of you to hear about my recent Saturday night. The night began as any other, a 'quick visit' to the twins' turns into ... Read more >

I can see that this blog is a bigger commitment than I first thought, especially when you run the risk of typing out a whole story and then when you go to upload, the page has timed out. This happened to me a couple of days ago and I was so pissed off ... Read more >

So yesterday I decided to try my hand at getting to Den Bosch on the bike, which apparently the other au pairs did frequently. Well good for them. It is the most confusing damn thing I've ever seen/done in my life. The Mom gave me directions (kind ... Read more >
