Melbourne is stunning this time of year – not too hot, not too cold, just right for sitting out for a few wines along the Yarra of an evening. This shot was taken from Southbank, the city’s hip restaurant/bar promenade along the bank of the river – the best place for people watching in the […]
Photo Of The Week – The Petronas Towers
April 6, 2012 by 11 Comments
I’ve just spent an amazing few days in the Malaysian capital and I loved it there! Apart from the weather being amazing, the food was fresh and delicious, and our hotel overlooked these two beauties – perhaps the cities most famous landmark. If you have the chance to visit, check it out – I have […]

March 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Greetings from Dubai! This picture was taken from the hotel Al Qasr which overlooks the iconic Burj Al Arab. Today I’m meeting up with some friends to do the done thing here in Dubai and have a very long, very boozy lunch! We also would’ve liked to have done a Dubai desert safari, but […]

It’s not long now until the days are longer, the sun comes out to play and hopefully we all get a holiday! Italy is such a stunning place to relax over the summer months, and it’s photo’s like this that remind me how amazing summer is during the cold depths of winter. I’d love to […]
Photo Of The Week – Port Fairy
March 16, 2012 by 3 Comments
Back when I used to live in Australia, every year my friends and I would go to Port Fairy (a coastal town around 3 hours drive from Melbourne) at the start of March for ‘Folkie’ – the famous folk festival that takes place there annually. It’s usually a debaucherous long weekend filled with copious amounts of alcohol, dancing and […]
Photo Of The Week – The Wild Monkeys Of Galwar Bagh
March 2, 2012 by 1 Comment
I love critters. Perhaps I shouldv’e been a little more cautious when moving towards a gang of teeth-baring primates at the Galwar Bagh temple in Jaipur, India, but I just couldn’t help it – I wanted to hang with them. Thankfully, I live to tell the tale, although the sly little punks did rob us of […]
Photo of The Week – The Little Mermaid
February 24, 2012 by 3 Comments
Hans Christian Andersen may just be Denmark’s most famous export (apart from the pastries of course!) and his statue inspired by his fairytale The Little Mermaid, is perhaps Copenhagen’s most famous sight. I couldn’t believe the sheer volume of tourists gathered at the edge of the coast line to see this rather tiny lady curled up on […]
Photo Of The Week – Colourful Basel Cathedral
February 17, 2012 by 2 Comments
The tallest point in the city of Basel, Switzerland is its beautifully colourful cathedral. You can climb to the top by navigating its many flights of winding stairs, and once you reach the top (albeit a little sweaty and almost broken) the view is quite spectacular. What I loved about this building the most however, […]
Photo of The Week – Brighton Beach Huts
February 10, 2012 by 4 Comments
The Brighton Beach Huts might just be Melbourne’s biggest icon – sure it may not be huge next to the Opera House, but it’s the little things about Melbourne that make it – it’s not obvious or in your face. And even though you may have to sell a kidney to even close to owning […]
Photo Of The Week – Boston Common
February 3, 2012 by 3 Comments
I love cities with huge parks in the middle of them, so it was only natural that Boston would firmly plant itself in my lift of favourites…although that list seems to grow every time I travel these days! It also reminds me of my home town Melbourne – there’s just something about being able to […]
