Slipped out for a sniff on the Meander River yesterday – I could think of no better way to celebrate being Orstrayan (Australian). My companion Nick and I sussed out the river at its lower reaches and noticed it a little high and murky – From all accounts there had been a land-slip up towards…
Mona has Nothing to do with fishing – But it does cast a bright light into the dark shadows of closed minds. Mona – The Museum of Old and New Art, has just opened in Hobart, Tasmania and boasts the largest private collection of art in the Southern Hemisphere – estimated to be worth more…

It was cool to have a blood brother back in primary school days. You knew that if you ate shit after falling off the fort or grazed your knee from trying to race fat Brad to the canteen, that your mates would be there in a flash trying to seize the moment and score you as…

Sa wat dii kraaap. It’s been a bit quiet at iheartthefly HQ of late, mainly as I’ve been in Thailand with the cheese and kisses for a couple of weeks. I took a charter for a day out whilst in Koh Samui and although it was very cheap ($50 including pick up and drop off from my resort), there…
