McLaren Vale gay wedding

Rain. Not enough of it and it’s bad for the farmers, too much and it’s the same problem. The comparatively wet and cool 12 months we’ve just had might be causing all sorts of headaches for SA winemakers but the flipside is lush green lawns and super picturesque vines and rolling hills which are perfect […]

Avid readers of my blog will know that I don’t particularly love spiders. Around this time last year I was fending off huntsmen and euthanising rebacks at my place in Firle, I’ve since moved to Athelstone and this past weekend saw me return to my redback slaughtering ways. After smiting two of these fearsome creatures […]

Glenelg wedding party

On Saturday I had the pleasure of documenting the wedding day of Emma and Scott, a couple of basketball lovers who also love combi-vans. And each other. As luck would have it Scott was actually my team mate on the first basketball team I ever played for – I was 9 years old and he […]

Adelaide sailing club wedding

On Sunday I made my debut on the stage that is Open Water Swim Racing. After winter basketball finished a few guys from my team, The Savoury Shapes, decided that we should keep getting together on a weekly basis to socialise and be active so the Savoury Shapes Swimming Club was created (actually, I think […]

It doesn’t get more Australian than the country, so when Cam suggested getting a group together to head down the Riverland for Australia Day it wasn’t hard to twist my arm. But why go just for the day? Why not make it 4 days? Good question Cam, mark me down for 4 days.

When my girlfriend lived in Victor Harbor she always wanted to go to the Compass Cup, but fate stood in the way. This year nothing would stand in our way, not the Tour Down Under which we had to divert around, not the stifling heat of an Australian summer’s day and not the fact that […]

There’s a window of about 2 weeks each year in Adelaide where cyclists don’t have to be ashamed of their shaved legs and lycra shorts, where they ride 2 abreast on the roads with impunity and where it’s almost impossible to get a seat outside one of Adelaide’s many cafes which become inundated with riders […]

Right, let’s do this thing, day 2 of my 5 posts in 5 days and I’m bang on track. On my 2nd day in KL I spent half a day pottering round the world’s largest undercover bird sanctuary which was pretty different to anything I’d done before. Where I live in Adelaide backs onto Linear […]
