So as I sit here, in the same airport I sat in almost three years ago, drinking the same wine, contemplating life, waiting for a plane to take me to my next destination, I can’t help but feel like I’ve come full circle. Not full circle in the sense that the journey has ended and … More Australia, You’ve Been Everything.
The end of the road in Marvel Loch came on Monday 10th October 2016 and if I was to say the last eight weeks had been uneventful then I’d be lying. At times it may have felt like I’d been imprisoned, cut off from the outside world, lacking in information and sensory overload, carrying out … More And Just Like That, It Was Over
It’s the beginning of week seven here in Marvel Loch and although I’m excited slash nervous slash a tad apprehensive about heading to Melbourne in a few weeks, believe it or not I’ll also be quite sad to leave this little place I’ve come to call home. The next two weeks are sure to pass … More Day 42 In Marvel Loch: And Now The End Is Near
Friday came and went…blah blah…a tedious morning followed by a pretty boring afternoon…although I did manage to get slightly sunburnt on my face so every cloud and all that. But Saturday…well…Saturday was just spectacular. Having never fired a gun, rode a dirt bike through crop fields and over a motorcross track, having never driven a … More It’s Day Nineteen and I Lost Four Virginities!
It’s been a tad drab here lately. The weather hasn’t been living up to my Western Australian standards, in fact it’s been slightly bi-polar which is frustrating (constant rain, wind and bitter cold, speckled with short bursts of sunshine) and I’ve been feeling particularly lethargic and lacking in energy. Instead of wanting to get outdoors … More Day Fifteen In Marvel Loch
The play areas in Marvel Loch strike a lonely chord; I’ve not seen one child frolicking on the climbing frames, not one hoop shot on the run down basketball court, and not one youngster swinging innocently and joyfully on the tyre swing. Granted, the current climate has probably had a lot to do with the … More Weekend number two in Marvel Loch – where are all the children? The play areas are empty and the roads desolate…
On Tuesday night we had a fire. Don’t worry though, it wasn’t an actual “my house is burning down, save the kids and that photo of Aunty Beryl” kind of fire; exciting things like that don’t happen in Marvel Loch. No, this was a pit fire. A pit fire in the bush…with alcohol! Trine and … More Days all blend together in good old Marvel Loch
It’s the end of my first week in Marvel Loch (The Town Midas Touched) and any pre-conceived doubt I had about coming here has been well and truly eradicated. In fact, I’ve quite enjoyed being out in the country away from the rat-race, cut off from society; and despite my tendencies to piss and moan … More Week One in Marvel Loch – Content and pleasantly surprised
So today I had to get up early. And by early I don’t mean like 5:30am, haha, oh no, I of course mean 7:30am (which is early enough). The reason, you may ask, as to why I needed to rise at such an ungodly hour when I only started work at 5pm? Well well well, … More Day Four in my new favourite place – some light reflection in Mining Land…
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
