Alright, so in my excitement to get “7 blogs in 7 days” up and running in the post Olympic afterglow I kind of forgot that I would be heading up to Queensland half way through. So, ummm, yeah, this is awkward. It looks like I’ll have to rename it “7 blogs in 7 non-consecutive days”, […]

When I was a kid my family moved to Leigh Creek for three years, a small country town about 6 hours north of Adelaide. It was an isolated community where everyone knew everyone, a place where a 5 year old (me) rode his bike home from school all by himself and stayed home alone to […]

Just imagine it’s a cold winter’s night and you decide to head down to AAMI stadium to watch Port Power take on another lowly side (presumably because you got free tickets). As the match kicks off there’s a lot of empty seats in the ground, in fact you’ve never seen so few people at an […]
