Best old thing that I found on my travels this month


I found this beauty at the laundromat. What I'd pay to have one of these in my laundry at home.. Gotta love the traditional OMO and Surf. No fancy enzyme options. The way washing powder was meant to be.

Street signs



Are you a fan of the "Johnny Come Lately" green version, or the traditional black and white?

Please leave a comment, I'd be interested in your thoughts. I'm a traditionalist. Perhaps all streets should have both versions to appease all.


Great pubs of the world


Here's the first instalment. A great place for a pint. Friendly staff and patrons. It can get a bit crazy on March 17. If only they did meals....The Dan O'Connell.

Weird and wonderful airlines

It's always been a dream of mine to fly TAM. Here is a photo of Harvey at the offices of TAM in Sth America. I wonder if you can smoke on board?

This makes me ill!

It's a tragedy when railway infrastructure is removed and demolished for little reason. There can be no justification for the removal of the old "inner circle" line. Here are a few photos of the former rail bridge in Fitzroy behind the Edinburgh Gardens. Below are the "kit homes" that have replaced it.

How sweet it is...



I love beating Richmond. Especially at the MCG, on a Friday night. It was a great night.

Red Hen


Trains are my favourite mode of transportation. Here is a photo taken at Victor Harbor in Sth Australia in March with a "Red Hen" diesel which travels from Goolwa to Victor Harbor on weekends. I'm looking forward to my next trip there and experiencing the journey. Of interest is a working turntable at Victor Harbor- I'd love to see that in action..
