I recently took a trip to Melbourne, Australia.

I had no high expectations, if anything I had quite low ones. Actually, why was I even going, I HATE Melbourne!

Arriving back home one week later, I declared to one and all that I LOVE Melbourne. In fact I plan on moving there next year.

At 5:30pm, Georgie (the young and beautiful owner of Kingbilli) knocks on our door.

“Any chance you guys would like to help me wrestle a koala out of a tree in Alex?” No sooner than the words are out of her mouth are our dinner plans put on hold, our shoes are on, and we are piling eagerly...

Dob in a hoon. C'mon, you got five guesses to tell me what that means. Well, to be fair, I had a little more context to figure it out when I first saw it. I was on my way to the Melbourne airport when I started seeing these huge billboards straddling the highway, stretched across overpasses. This...

Don’t get me wrong. I can appreciate backpackers’ zealous appetite-for-fun, and even their raucous pranks, but I did not fly across the Atlantic to wear a Grecian toga and pound shots of pink-hued booze in a 10:00am contest. So when my taxi driver shows up to rescue me from the Pink Palace, a...

Growing up in Melbourne means that you hold...

The Caffeine Rush is on in Sydney, Australia

                Everything coffee that you need in one spot, the largest gathering of coffee lovers on any continent, where will you...

Smoke lingering after the thunder of canons, swords clashing, wood chips flying, fire blazing, lances splintering, belly dancers swirling, rumble of the motorcycle, minstrels singing... an eclectic mix of things but they all have one thing in common – Ironfest Fusion 2008 in Lithgow, NSW, Australia.

My husband surprised me as we were heading to Sydney and made a turn to Parrametta. He decided to park here and take the rivercat ferry into Sydney for the day. I have a spiritual/nymphaic response to being on the water and this was a treat.

The dam at this port requires the cat to do a 360 turn in...

The lights go out in my home if it rains too much, there is a short in the ceiling that needs to be fixed. My husband says only the men can touch the electric box so I have never been shown how to fix it. They are both at work tonight, so I sit in the dark.

It is pitch black with no stars, the trains...
