More pictures from our little day trip to Milawa, Victoria.
August 29, 2011
Evening all. I hope you have been well. Had an extra long weekend and the family took the seven hours (600km) round trip to Milawa, up in the north-east of Victoria.

Hi there, how has everyone been? Remember my random encounter with the car photography team, where I walked right into a brand new Suzuki Kizashi and a Hyundai i45? Well fast forward two weeks and the hotly contested medium sized car review is out on one of Australia’s trusted car sites Drive.com.au. Both cars are… [Read more…]

I was on my way to work yesterday morning and made my usual 20 walk through Docklands into the CBD when I found myself in the middle of a car photoshoot. I found myself standing next to a public concourse normally reserved for pedestrians. I have never encountered cars there, so when I found myself… [Read more…]

A lovely morning my beautiful readers, and welcome to the final episode of The Fortnightly Belly Show. Yes, witness the triumphant arrival of a King and a Jedi as they battle the apocalyptic and nefarious Dragon Emperor and an ugly resurrection by hurling insults and big boobed heroines along a tree named road artery. Now,… [Read more…]
