hey!! So bin mitlerweilen schon ueber 2 wochen im sattel und hab ein wenig ein gefuehl fuer die distanzen hier bekommen. Neben einigen harten tagen in denen ich ordentlich kaempfen musste und nahe dran war die sache abzublasen kommt mein erstes ziel sydney langsam in greifbare naehe. werd mir dort wohl noch mal ueberlegen mussen wies weiter geht. da Sexy panic wie ich meine bestie jetzt nenn schon erste erschoepfungserscheinungen zeigt. vom kleinen problem mit dem gebrochenen tretlager abgesehen is sie ganz ordentlich unterwegs. Bin gerade in batemans bay eingetrudelt und leider bleibt mir nicht genug zeit um einen ausfuehrlichen bericht hier reinzustellen. was vermutlich alle hier um mich freut bin ja geruchstechnisch auf der eher strengen seite unterwegs. Muss mal die berndis und n maze fragen welche lustigen gedankenspiele die so entwickeln wenn ma 5-7 ... read more

With the exception of my Xmas trip up to Port Stephens I'd managed to spend 4 months in Sydney without ever going past the city limits ... in fact it was unusual for me to venture out of the centre. All a rather sorry state of affairs so I figured it was definitely time for another mini road trip. As it happened Pam was up for an adventure too so we planned to hire a car and head south... somewhere. We opted for the 'winging it' method as far as accommodation went, partly because we were to busy at work to sort anything out and partly because that's too much planning for me, but Pam booked the car and as we'd both organised to bunk off work early the idea was to meet at the car ... read more

Jan 15. The morning started with a red wattlebird, then honeyeaters, grey fantail. Went on and on thru eastern whipbird which I'd heard so often but never seen. Lost count. Maybe twenty five species. What Hillsborough is to butterflies, Mallacoota is to birds. Awesome. Sat down to eat. Lyrebirds forraging. Later spruik and swim. When many people say we've done this its time to move on. Evening at Curley's to watch TV. No show! Lee (wife) for, her mother (84) in RSL against. They were passionate. Curley went out for view to escape. All good. By the river (estuary) Royal Spoonbill (breeding) with their white plumes from the back of head. For some reason I never thought I'd see a spoonbill. The whole notion seemed so improbable, that strange beak. Strange like the pelican. The pelican ... read more

Dear all, Hope everybody back home and around the world are well! Again a very cool week, week number 4 and no less exciting. Cant really remember what I said in the last blog but I’ll start with the gig I went to last Sunday. I went down to circular quay, which is where the opera hose is, and there was a free gig / live TV show. Its was for Video Hits, kind of like our Top of the Pops. Got lots of cool shots and got on national TV, just in the background, but it was very funny! Then Came the CD Single, The track I worked on, within the first 24 hours of being in the country came out. AND I’ve got credit. As you can see in the pic’s below, I got ... read more
