JC's Australian Daydream

Day 02 – Twistin’ Up The Hills!

J.C. — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 04:19:01 +0000

Australia Day Rant – Sausages In Trouble

J.C. — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:31:17 +0000

Today is Australia Day and although I would like to just celebrate, drink beer, have a BBQ and chill out, I thought I’d take a moment to raise your awareness of a darkness that is sweeping the nation. An infection, a curse that is threatening the Australian way of life. There isn’t much that is [...]

The Big Wet – Queensland Floods

To donate to the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal, visit http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html Never before has a natural disaster been so hard to watch. I’ve always seen them on TV with a sense of detachment. Possibly as a result of watching way too many Hollywood disaster movies. “Wow, check out that tsunami, isn’t it amazing...” “Holy crap, that [...]

I left the pretty town of Lakes Entrance and headed North towards the foothills of the Snowy Mountains. As I drove, I was actually getting excited at the idea of seeing these caves [...]

Road-Trip Travel Tips #2 – How to find the cheapest petrol in town

J.C. — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 08:35:33 +0000

Can you believe there used to be a time when the price of fuel wasn’t a huge issue? It wasn’t that we were all rich. It was before we realised oil was running out and the oil companies decided to exploit this news by jacking up the prices in search of astronomical profits. But that [...]

Day 02 – From lakes of stink to lakes of wonder!

J.C. — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 04:04:09 +0000

A small boat floats towards disaster as an apocalyptic sky threatens annihilation. Way back in 2006 I spent a day at Mount Dandenong, one of my favorite places around Melbourne. I [...]
