A preview of a new chapter of 'Lost in a Bad Book' posted on my Patreon today. A librarian from the Library of Infinite Stories has had to enter a spellbook about rivers to rescue a lost wizard. The most dangerous thing about the book? Apart from the font? […]

A vast hall of empty chairs and tables at Narrm Ngarrgu library at the Queen Vic markets. It’s SO QUIET!

Saw The Ballad of Wallis Island today at Cinema Nova with @NarrelleMHarris.

FYI Narrelle and I have reviewed a bunch of Melbourne Fringe Festival shows - including one by some very funny New Zealanders dressed in banana costumes, taped to a wall. Yes, you read that right.

Fun read:

"In 2025 if you see a long, snaking queue of people congregating outside a Melbourne CBD building, you suspect a limited-edition sneaker release, a new mobile phone event or a concert ticket sale. In 1932, hundreds of people gathered outside Melbourne’s Manchester Unity Building on a […]

A warning posted on the glass door of the Mungo Lodge warning visitors that the kangaroos and goats they see are wild. “Keep a safe distance and do not attempt to approach or feed them. Your safety is important!”

Our 707 Operations Vinelander train weekend away has started well. A pleasant ride, we’ve got to see cattle, sheep, cockatoos, kangaroos and a wallaby in the paddocks, and the canola fields are vibrantly yellow and cheerful! @timrichards #trains #vintagetrain
Two trees standing in the middle of a canola field, with a patch of blue sky amid the clouds and hills in the distance. Taken through train window so it holds a reflection.

View from the Oaks Sydney Hyde Park suites in February - one window looking out on hundreds of others. #Fensterfreitag #sydney
View of Sydney city buildings. A pale orange sunset glows behind the cityscape, and hundreds of windows glow with lights. In the foreground on the right, the illuminated ANZAC memorial is almost the same colour as the setting sun.

The excellent fire at South of Johnson in Collingwood. Come for the cosy hearth - stay for the amazing food. (Not pictured: the absolutely delicious Croque Madame which I ate before Photos could be taken. )
