Think about the numbers
This week, a little more of a thinking post. Ranty, a little, perhaps. Let me talk through some numbers I heard about today, and why they were true… but also completely false. Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics I don’t know who the origin of that quote was. No doubt someone famous, if for no other…
Red Hill, Canberra
I’m coming to you this week from Red Hill. I come up here quite regularly. In previous years, I’ve been a regular up here for walking during the daylight savings months, as I have an hour and a half to spend not far from here, one night of the week, waiting for one of my…
An explore at the National Arboretum
It’s probably going to appear here a few times, but I was at the Arboretum again last weekend. A photographer friend runs monthly photo walks, and this months walk was supposed to be on Sunday. The weather wasn’t looking good first thing in the morning so she cancelled. I had a look at the forecast,…
I’m BACK!
Hello! Yes, I am back. The Uni year is finished, and in fact the entire degree is finished. My time is now much freer than it was – and I’m at a bit of a loss about what to do next. More study isn’t out of the question, but I have spoken to a couple…

A trip to Sydney… (almost)
Multi-part blog – 29 June 2022 – Introduction This week, I decided to make a trip to the outer edge of Sydney. The NSW Rail Museum in Thirlmere were running their Annual Steam Festival (postponed from earlier in the year), and I wanted to photograph that. However, I’ll leave my discussion of that until another…
Dining in Mittagong for Gluten Free peeps
Multi-part blog – 29 June 2022 – Part two A quick chat about being gluten free, and some of the options for dining in Mittagong gluten free. This is not a comprehensive list, by any means. I ate only 3 meals in Bowral and Mittagong, so I did not do much exploring. I did find…
An EV trip to Mittagong
Multi-part blog – 29 June 2022 – Part One First, let me start with some thoughts on the trip itself. Some background for those not familiar with NSW geography. Mittagong (and it’s twin on the other side of the mountain, Bowral) are the major settlements along the Hume Highway just outside of the Sydney sprawl.…
Canberra’s role in the moon landings
As I mentioned last week, I went for a drive out to Tidbinbilla the other weekend. (See here). On the way home I stopped in on a couple of other sites to see along that stretch of road. First, I visited the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex. From there, I went and got some photographs…
A beautiful winter’s day in Canberra
I must say, last Saturday was a most stunningly beautiful winter’s day in Canberra. The very epitomy of a Canberra winter’s day. Quite chilly overnight (my system said -2oC); but when the sun came out, it was a glorious clear sunny day. The sun was gloriously warm, even if the air wasn’t so much. The…
