Koalas. No need for stunt doubles. This is about as energetic as they get.

Koalas – the Action Movie
March 21st, 2011Nostalgia
March 21st, 2011Secret longing for Soda Stream, Wagon Wheels, Radio Rentals? Even Egg Nog? Maybe not. But a time when things were, well, less fraught? Shops mostly closed by five pm. Bit more time to spend with family and friends. Perhaps get involved with your local Lions Club. Then Australia, Queensland certainly, is the place for you.
But hurry. Times are a changing. Utilities being sold off. Privatised. De-regulation gathering apace. Dairy industry couple of years ago. Growing "’ealth and safety" culture. Mobile dog grooming. Dubious hallmarks of a sophisticated society.
Skin care
March 20th, 2011Never mind the temperatures in the Tropics. In the thirties. Or the humidity. Stifling. Debilitating. No. The real threat is the intense ultra violet. In northern Queensland, rated Extreme. Even on overcast days. So never neglect your skin care routine. Venture out without sun block at your peril. As this local seems to have done…
Your nuts, m’lord
March 20th, 2011In much of Central Asia and China, frequently asked how much Emma, my trusty steed, was worth. "Gift from my parents" I’d say, politely avoiding the issue. Australia. Am I "nuts" they ask. Often. Honest question. Honest answer. "Yes" I admit. Even said it on camera. Piece for local TV news.
Joking of course. After all, I’m early forties, usually refer to Emma and I as "we". Have mascots called Skippy the kangaroo and Wallace the Wallaby. And I’m cycling around the world. Alone. Quite sane. Just wanted to clear that up. Leaving enough time for a quick round of Pooh Sticks before dinner.
Synchronised swimming
March 19th, 2011
Crocodile synchronised swimming team. Despite their lack of elegance and closely cut swimsuits, unopposed winners. Even in their first season. Rival teams disappearing without trace.

Snap happy

Ok. Had to resort to visiting a crocodile farm to get this footage. But worth it I think. Besides, would you like to try and tease out crocodiles in the wild with chicken pieces?
Roo road

Ken, together with trusty steed Emma, enjoys quieter roads. Which means less lorries – trucks – or buses.
Silent killer

Evolution at its best. Chances are these critters will be around long after the human race is a mere footnote in history.
Sausage sizzle
March 17th, 2011Sausage sizzle. By invitation only. Alas, mine seems to have gone astray in the recent floods / cyclones / monsoon rains / earthquake (delete as applicable). Yes. I did say earthquake. Few days ago. Just a pan rattling four on the Richter Scale. Epicentre off the coast from Cardwell, Tully and Mission Beach. Communities that bore the full force of Cyclone Yasi last month.
About to be inundated once more. Eager well-wishers clamouring to catch a glimpse of Prince William. Chosen few joining him for snags on the barbeque. Trust he’ll bring his wellies. And insect repellant. Outbreak of mosquito borne Dengue Fever. Nature has such a sense of humour in these parts.
