Photo of Port Douglas, North Queensland

Thanks to Brisbane Artist's help may I present to you a photo! Port Douglas is a pleasant town north of Cairns in far north Queensland. On one side of the coast is the surrounding Daintree Rainforest and along the coast is the world famous Great Barrier Reef. Well the photo was attached there for... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in Sydney

I've been back in Sydney a couple of days now and I have to admit I am feeling rather restless though I am glad to see Princess again. Going up to North Queensland gave me a taste for new possibilities and I don't want it to simply be smothered by coming back into a "more of the same" scenario. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Last Day in Cairns

If I was technologically advanced enough I would insert holiday pictures in this post but the insert pictures buttons seems to insist on me putting in a web address for where the pictures are located and, since the pictures are on a CD rather than somewhere with a URL address in web land I have no...

another short post

I have one more day at work before the beginning of my break. Next Monday I'm on a plane heading north and it's a massive understatement to say I'm looking forward to it.

heading to the tropics

The past few weeks have been particularly aggravating at work. One long march through administrative banality.

A BRIEF HALLO

Just a brief post. I'm busy working on the second draft of the book at the moment. Working and refining words. I did manage a short story (in a new, separate blog in the fiction section) for anyone interested. I think it needs some work on the conclusion. Sign in to see full entry.
