The Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Barry Humphries.
(Preview)

Unusu...

Silos - how do they work?
(Preview)
I'm sitting in my caravan on Kerang Racecourse, Victoria gazing through the window at a block of silos and realising I have no idea how they work. They store grain, I realise, but how does it get in there? And out? What are the chimney like things for? What is the tall dark grey tower for? These are mysteri...

Another Fine and a good thing too
(Preview)

Its a serious road violation as a driver must have proper control of the vehicle, and having an animal or another person on your lap while driving is not considered to have proper control. Itll...

Public holiday & public toilets locked
(Preview)
Public holiday, a reasonable number of people enjoying the public parks. Happened to be passing through a few public parks on a walk, needed to duck in for a number one. All the toilets locked. Really! End result had to water a tree, at least discreetly.

Easter.
(Preview)
Once again we see carnage on our roads at Easter. We have never travelled at Easter since the kids were little and I had time off. It is. imho, one of the most dangerous times to travel. It would be interesting to hear from others on here what they do, travel or stay put?
