I’ve just spent a sunny weekend up the coast, and whilst there, learnt a few random things about the land to the north.

The speed limit for Learners is 110 km/h (in Sydney, it’s 80 km/h). It is debatable whether it is safer having 16 year olds doing 110km/h on a motorway, or having them driving […]

It was very much a case of ‘returning to the scene of the crime’, as this was where it all started, where Guy was crowned […]

Across the last few days, there has been a sick story developing, and becoming more localised with more detail each day — the incident taking place in our very own Warringah Mall. It was somewhat disconcerting considering that such a perverse act was taking place in a shopping mall that I’ve known for so long; […]

After much poking, prodding, bugging and otherwise incessant badgering from numerous people to go see Casino Royale, I finally did it, and saw it without thinking about all the things the media have been saying about it for ages.
