Shoot Buoys in a Pond

Ok, it is not a pond: It is a tidal pool. If you have never seen the tidal pool, ask any of the locals in Kingscote to point you in the right direction. They are nice people, they will. These five photographs were shot about 3 pm, the perfect time of the day to capture... Continue Reading →

When Not Blogging, I Am Vlogging

There's a valid and great reason why I don't blog as often: I am vlogging again. Living on Kangaroo Island has given me new inspiration, subjects and time. Admittedly, some of my attempts are not so perfect, yet I am having so much fun learning new facets of the software I use, plus the limitations... Continue Reading →

Ensure your House Smoke Detectors Meet Current Regulations (AUS)

I researched this information after our rental-home smoke-detector beeping beeped at 2.30am yesterday morning. At the time I also asked on Facebook (in a KI Q&A group) what should be done in the short term: All my good friends on Kangaroo Island suggested the 9Volt battery needed replacing.

Capturing the Most Ferocious Animals in Australia

For the last four years, pretty much since my first son was born, we've visited Cleland Wildlife Park every Saturday morning. Whilst it's been for the benefit our boys to (1) tire them out for a good night's sleep that night so my wife and I can have a peaceful evening, plus (2) to show... Continue Reading →

We Have Moved to Kangaroo Island

This time last year we made a BIG decision: To move our family to Kangaroo Island. Explaining the benefits to each of our families actually didn't take a lot, but there are a few who have not yet been there. Yesterday morning I videoed some of my morning walk. Because of the tranquillity of Kingscote,... Continue Reading →

Do you really think anyone in Parliament house is going to say "Oh that makes sense, let's make radical changes overnight!" Proposals to make politicians shoulder their share of the weight now that the Age... Continue Reading →
