  • Emerald Lake

    To the east of Melbourne, quite close to the city, there are some low called the Dandenongs (the Dandenong Ranges). Don’t confuse them with the suburb of Dandenong, which is in a completely different place—and unlike the hills, it’s known… Continue reading

  • The garden at Broughton Hall

    South Gippsland just keeps surprising me. You’d think I’d driven it back and forth a hundred times, but nope—there’s always somewhere new to stumble across. And what a place this turned out to be. This time I came across the… Continue reading

  • The Brian Jonestown Massacre

    This is the next part of my report on the rock gig in Melbourne on 27 March 2026. I’ve already written about the brilliant Swedish band Les Big Byrd, who opened the night. The main act was the legendary, scandalous,… Continue reading

  • Dimmicks beach

  • Labassa Mansion

    My latest photo adventure started in the usual way — by poking around on Google Maps. At one point my eye caught a little camera icon. The place was called Labassa Mansion, and it was in Caulfield North. Caulfield North… Continue reading
