In coming to Western Australia during the height of winter, I thought I’d made the ultimate choice; I thought I would’ve hit the jackpot in regards to the weather, as everyone knows Perth and a lot of WA are renowned for being hot all the time, right? Erm…WRONG! To say I have been unpleasantly surprised … More It’s Cold: Day Three in Marvel Loch

Marvel Loch is a small mining town situated 33km south … More Day One in Marvel Loch
I met a boy about two years ago now and fell for his wit and charm. We didn’t know one another, we hadn’t conversed but I knew, I felt all the alarms. When we finally spoke, my head was a flutter, heart racing, palms sweaty, mumbled words I did utter. He played it cool, nonchalant … More I fall in love too easily
There has to be more to life than this; to sit in a cage, in a tank, in a pond, and work for a man with whom you have no bond. To monotonise your weeks, your years and your life for a suffocating slavery of struggle and strife. You work, you come home, you eat … More More Than This

Athens, Attica, Athena: one of the great historical cities of the world. A place where Zeus laid his temple, where myths and legends were formed; where the Olympic Games originated; where food and drink go hand in hand with lifestyle and culture. In Ancient Greek times the ruinous structures that dominated the landscape towered in … More Athens: a city with great potential but a city marred by bad graffiti, run-down buildings and unsavoury promiscuous cats.
Can’t you see the love in my eyes? Look closer. Can’t you see past this feeble disguise? Look closer. Can’t you see the passion that simmers in the depths of my being, that haunts me, that glimmers? Look closer. Can’t you see my wanton my desire? Look closer. Cant you see I’m burning with fire? … More Come Closer
Living out of a backpack can be hard: what do you pack? How do you decide what’s important, essential and what may save your life? How much can you carry? What do you leave behind? Do you really need all those pairs of socks? What you pack and what you don’t pack ultimately depend on how long … More Ten Things Living Out Of A Backpack Taught Me

This is before you mention amateurs Jack Phoenix and Stan Houghton … More How Larches Boxing Club is gaining a cult following for its no-nonsense gym
She sits, staring at the sky, her dreams far from the reality she reluctantly embraces. A shooting star passes by, casting light upon unfamiliar faces. Her thoughts dance along the waves, the sand at her feet, warm and loving. In stark contrast she behaves, as if the past were lost and merely nothing. Yet it’s … More Pave Me The Way With Streets Of Gold
