Does the AFL need to be more open when it comes to sport and sexuality? Can any major social enterprise ignore and disrespect the reality of the society in which it seeks to flourish?

Underneath Brisbane’s Captain Cook Bridge at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs for a bit of mid century modernism.

The Gold Coast is not my favourite destination, but when a trip by public transport from Brisbane costs just 50 cents, and it's a sunny day, well, there are worse places to visit.

There are worse ways to spend a Tuesday afternoon than visiting Raby Bay on Brisbane’s coast.

A friend mentioned to me the other day that Brisbane now has more footbridges than vehicular ones crossing its river near the city centre.

There are now four, and today I crossed three of them. The Neville Bonner and Kangaroo Point Bridges were being built last time I was here. A walkable city.

A bit of frivolity today. My sisters have been travelling, and brought me back this keepsake from dear old blighty. Charmed.

Autumn in Tasmania. Dappled light through fading leaves lights up the rotunda in St Davids Park, Hobart.

Art Deco high school in Hobart. The former New Town High sits at the edge of a creek and public path, and is one of my regular walking routes. It lights up during autumn thanks to a stand of exotic trees.

We’re saying “hello” to autumn here in the Southern Hemisphere. Days are still sunny and warm but nights are gradually getting longer and cooler.

Photo taken in Hobart’s St Davids Park.

A few impressions from the Wooden Boat Festival. I opted this year to focus on details rather than broad vistas so stuck with a long lens.

Anyone else looking forward to the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart this weekend?

This pic from the last festival I attended back in 2019.
