I landed in Perth at around 12.30 Monday night. My connecting flight to Kalgoorlie was at 6.30am. By the time I got luggage, and then arrived at a hotel (or friends house) I’d lay down, I’d then be on the move back to the airport. Continue reading My first Sleep Pod experience.
Today I bought my second eldest young man – I can’t say boy anymore – a yearly pass to the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum for his twentieth birthday. Located just north of Cairns heading towards the northern beaches in Smithfield. It was fantastic. He absolutely loved it. I’m sure he nearly fainted when he saw the Churchill tank out the front. Continue reading A visit to the Australian Amour and Artillery Museum
I have to say I know little about the story and did very minor Wikipedia research while waiting for my ride this evening. Part of me wants to chase down the tale, while the rest of me wants to savour this interpretation by Suzie Miller. I do not know how close this version is to the original, but right now I don’t really care. Continue reading La Boîte Theatre Company’s Medea is a must see
Last Thursday evening we had the pleasure of seeing visiting African-American scholar Dr Cornell West in conversation with Nazeem Hussain at the Brisbane Convention Centre. Dr West is touring the capital cities at whirlwind pace. Continue reading An evening with Dr Cornell West in Brisbane
I made a video, please support the growth and development of IndigenousX. Continue reading Please support IndigenousX
I’m not sure how to write this post, as I’m not really a traveller, but I’m just going to start. It’s been a few days since I got home, and if I don’t do this now, I’ll have completely lost any travel blogging mojo I might have. Continue reading Hawai’i – just getting there
I think this probably my first real vlog (video blog) post for Not Quite Cooked (ie. a personal post). The other one was for Deadly Bloggers (and that was a few years ago now). No idea if this will become a regular thing or not … but here it is: Continue reading My Fancy Lady Industries birthday present
Tonight Mum and I headed to Eat Street Markets in Hamilton. It was wonderful. I think the markets are only a few months old, and they’re nothing like you’ve seen in Brisbane before. They’re down at the wharves and they’re created with a shipping containers – it’s a container city! Continue reading Nomad’s Palace at Eat Street Markets
What a busy week. I was in Sydney for my first Viscopy meeting, where I’ve been appointed as an independent director. It’s a daunting and exciting opportunity. I’ve been interested in copyright, IP and cultural IP for ages. I taught about it in the Indigenous Art and Protocols course I convened at QCA years ago, so I’ve spent a lot of time getting my head around the topic. Not that I’m an expert at ALL. I’ think my biggest interest lies in being able to balance ACCESS copyrighted material (making sure images etc are accessible to everyone), with RECOGNITION (making sure creators are acknowledged and paid for their work). I look forward to much brain twisting over the coming the twelve months. Continue reading Pinch and a punch – December 1
