School packed train

It’s raining I’m at the station waiting for a train which has just been cancelled. It’s cold, bitterly cold, coldest day so far for the year. I look up and down the platform and see a thinly spread group of people I think to myself ‘this doesn’t seem to bad, there aren’t that many people, [...]

The story of 3 train lines

I have had the fortunate ability to have traveled on 3 (possibly 5) different train lines.
Glen Waverley
Belgrave/Lilydale
Carnbourne/Packenham
They are listed by the way in order of the one that I want to travel. I have always used the Glen Waverley line because it was closet to home, but recently I’ve had the chance to house sit [...]

6 Links

Close to the corner of Swanston Street and Little Flinders it’s a nice basement bar which some great furniture and good selection of drinks with carlton draught, asahi, pure blonde on tap.
To be honest the seating isn’t that great, it’s a little to much form over function but there is enough standing room for it [...]

Melbourne Comedy Festival

As last year the Melbourne International Comedy Festival rolled around again, and similar to last year I decided to see a few shows. While I’m not really a reviewer of sorts I will give you my best recollection and thoughts about the gigs that I did see.
Charlie Pickering
Surprisingly not as funny as last year I’m [...]

Sarah Blasko

Went and saw Sarah Blasko at the Forum Theatre in the city, just in case anyone doesn’t know it’s probably one of the best if not the best live music venue I have ever been. The acoustics are so much better than anywhere else including the Prince of Wales in St. Kilda and there is [...]

I was in the city today taking photos, not for any great reason but [...]

Napier Hotel

Helped a friend move house on the weekend and as much as this troubled me I did get to experience a new eatery.
I reckon that the Fitzroy area provides some pretty good feeds for your money and the The Napier Hotel is no exception, located in the back streets of Fitzroy opposite the town hall [...]

Plastic Photo Show

I have a few friends who are rather good photographers and as a result, combined with the photos that I took on the overseas trip, I have become rather interested in the field as well.
While I was at Uni doing my thing I noticed that there was a photo show going on at the Hawthorn [...]

Hilltop Hoods at Festival Hall

I had already bought the recently released album The Hard Road and had listened to it a quite a few times, it didn’t have the same impact as The Calling did but it was, what I believe still a good release, it was with hope and excitment that I also bought tickets to the show [...]

David Ford at Ding Dong Lounge

I had heard him in an interview on the Triple J’s Morning Show and I was quite impressed at what I heard while I was half awake, I didn’t quite understand how he used loops to produce the music because it sounded quite complex but I was also quite attracted to his lyrics.
So I got [...]
