She's still happy and healthy too :) Always a bit tricky to get her care that the two of us can't provide, given that she's a dingo and most vets won't see her (long story, house homie and I both work/have worked with wildlife, wild dogs and dingoes...as well as me working with wolves/coyotes...

I'll well out of the look these days, but currently Meanjin (Brisbane) based. Won't write too much in case you're not active on here anymore, but feel free to comment/message me if you want to talk about how things are in Oz :)

That's a heck of a generalisation. I can name more Indigenous hip-hop that white hip hop 🤷🏼‍♀️

I still believe some of the best hiphop of the past few years comes from the Indigenous scene in Australia. I don't know if artists will ever break out of here, but I adore so much of it. So much truth, so much history. Well, they say that they came in peace But our blood still stains the beach...

Had to share this somewhere, to people outside of Oz. Minjungbal/Gudjinburra rapper JK-47 do his take on Tupac's Changes from the perspective of an Indigenous Australian man in 2021. This blew me away.

My best girl Aura <3 Gotta love getting that look/smile from a pup even when you're not holding food or toys :p

Bob Vylan Highly recommend - goes from dirty punk to rap, and manages to mix them both better than anyone else I've heard.

Beyond happy to be living with my best dingus dingo mate Aura 🥰

First pic is in Clayfield, other side of the river. Second I'm pretty sure was Highgate Hill

The Bottlers Aussie convicty folky punk

Continuing my overrunning of to Oceania forum and desire to share photos... Upon returning to my home town (I guess I can call it that now, it's more or less been home base since I was 13) after a few months on the road, I felt the need to get out almost immediately. Suburbia irks me. Luckily...

Yo, the climbing ban has been in place for over a month now. Hoards of bogan wankers flocked to the rock during the last days to stroke their egos and "tick the climb of the bucket list" but it's closed which is brilliant! After the rangers did a final sweep to make sure no one was left the...

This is Taffy. He's one of four rescues a mate has on her farm. I think we're best buds now, sweet little dude won't leave my side.

Annnnd a few more from my travels Southern Cassowary. Cape Tribulation, Qld Flock of Eastern Grey Kangaroos Lake Cootharaba, Qld

Cassowary shit grows trees. These stickers were everywhere the in Daintree (North Qld, Australia) trying to tell people that scary animals are key to the rainforest. I thought it was cute :)

Ever had anything force a detour when you've been on the road? I've never had things too bad - just been thrown a couple of hours off course in the past due to floods or fires. However, I saw this ridiculousness and had to share. Half of Australia is on fire at the moment, and the bush fires...

Sorry if this has been posted before or isn't allowed, I'll probably end up wanting to delete this anyhow. I'm working on the road...driving and kinda babysitting groups of around 20 backpackers. I tend to work 3 and a half weeks at a time, then have three days off and start again. Like, it's...

Found some more dingo mates on K'gari the other day

Lennox Head, NSW. ...made me think of Divine.

I was shocked how open and common it was in most places. Like, I was staying in some shitty hotel in the desert in Cali for a night last year and the receptionist was having a spliff outside. Similar thing happened in Tennessee. I've never really had any dramas smoking in public in America...

My state is fucked ay. Anything like this happen near you? Be careful anywhere in Qld, especially Townsville. "A north Queensland mayor says homelessness charities providing food and laundry services to people are "enabling" them to "live a lifestyle" in public parks." Article here...

No worries, thanks for the thanks! If I can get my go pro working I'll try and get some underwater shots of the Great Barrier Reef when I'm diving tomorrow tomorrow

You need a visa to work. A working holiday visa at the very least and they come with specific terms/eligibility. I think there is an exception for Kiwis, but that's about it.

I've had a keen interest in animals for a long time. I've helped with research and conservation efforts and volunteer with wildlife rescues. Sometimes it's just nice to watch. Here's a taste of the Aussie fauna I've seen over the past week or so. Eastern water dragon. Byron Bay, NSW Goanna...

Surely am mate. Born and raised down under. From all I've heard the getting a work visa is fairly tricky (depending on your age, nationality and background). But yeah, loving this. About to hit the road and head further north to Cairns.

So, feels a little weird to do but I've recently got a job driving tourists buses/trucks around and helping out on boats. Easy money, and free travel. It's pretty rad. Spent the past too weeks going from Sydney to North Qld. Have some pretty pics... The trusty Rosa I was driving. Lunch...

Used to have a decent collection of kink toys, but most were lost to an ex. I worked in a sex store until recently, there's some incredibly...creative stuff out there! Usually just wear my faux-leather cuffs on my wrist. Also have a gag shaped like a bone which is cute as fuck.

Get in touch if you do start planning a trip down here mate, happy to help out where I can. The base/ground walk around Uluru is bloody fantastic. So much information, history and beautiful. I've spoken to people who have climbed it who had no idea of the cave paintings and waterholes (when we...

Eh, haven't heard much about it being worshipped. But every nation is different, it's seen differently to different groups. Whitey just tend to pass on easy stereotypes and tall stories. As for the custodians, it's key to Tjukurpa (their philosophy) which, from my learnings, encompasses the...

Yulara, NT, Australia A lot of Aussies are butthurt because of the upcoming ban (that's been on the cards for years). One of the largest monoliths in the world, close to the centre of the country. The Aboriginal culture and history surrounding it makes for some great reading.

Spent a bit of time in the NT recently, couldn't believe how many people were flocking to climb Uluru before the ban comes in this October. It's not my place to share the intricacies of why (aside from it being terrible for the environment, eroding the rock and the fact it's fucking tough...

Rollo was one of the biggest influences to our punk scene her in Brisbane Australia, from the police state Pig City days in the 80's until this year he had a massive presence. Blowhard have had an impact on countless people here, they embodied the Brissy punk attitude. He passed away a couple...

It's just gone winter here, but summertime looks had us like... (The colourful one is one of my best mates - Daynosaur. Decided not to tell him I moved back to Oz and surprise him)

Google and Indeed are your friends. Okanogan is defs the place to look, I didn't work there or do any fruit picking..

Sharing because this pup is amazing. Rescued this handsome creature today. His name is Bunji, hes around 18 months old and a rottweiler x cattle dog x bull mastiff x something else. He's had a horrible life of abuse and neglect, but is still a total sweetheart. On his way to a foster home...

Alright, so Iv'e posted some self indulgent band things on here before but...damn, this blew my mind. Early last year my band of 10+ years, Whiskey & Speed, were breaking up for a bunch of reasons (including me taking my solo travels overseas). We'd gained a reputation for being wild, self...

Yeah mate, Kelowna goes alright. I only passed through but spent a couple days when I was rubber trampin' with no dramas. Good on you for your mission here - wishing you and yours all the best!

I lived in the West Kootenays for a while. Small towns, chill vibes and no one really cares about your business. It's a long ways from Van though. Nelson is full of drugs, but the nearby towns are fairly clean. Kaslo, New Denver, Slocan, Nakusp, Arrow Lake...all chill as fuck.

Yo, if any of y'all in FL need some threads I know a place ;)

They're not the brightest either ay? A few posts in quick succession, found out almost immediately. Fucking muppets.

Fuck man, this is horrible. Made the mistake of having a look on their Facebook page...what cruel, souless pricks. Y'all need a meet up in St Augustine (Reported and all that)

Being back in Brissy meant catchups with my old mate Monty for the first time in years ❤

Yo, I'm a lil too drunk to properly reply so sorry if this doesn't make a whole lot of sense or doesn't help. I totally get the struggle mate. These days I'm openly bi but the road to get to the point of being this comfortable in myself was rocky. ...and, in general, I fucking hate men too...

Yo, my band Whiskey & Speed just dropped our first new track in years. Sweetness. I'm really goddamn proud of this one and how it turned out. It's the first track of our upcoming EP "Better Than Expected". A little less punk, a little more grunge. I guess? Idk, I'm stoked on it. Check it out if...

Yo, this have kinda gone fuckup for me and I need to fly back to my corner of the globe. Sorry to anyone that was relying on my wheels for supply runs or whatnot. Bummed I can't make it, would have been amazing meeting you all.

If you're go to when it comes to animals is to use a blade on them you're twisted. If you're that worried about dogs learn about them, learn the behaviour to look out for and learn ways to handle yourself without potentially killing a creature that is a product of it's surroundings.

I might be down in Melbs for a bit next year. I'm from Brissy myself and will be back there soonish - feel free to get in touch of you're ever on Qld!

Oh, and "Dry as a dead dingoes donga". Gotta love country QLD for this sort stuff

"I'm so hungry I'd eat the arse out of a low flying duck"

In Bakersfeild at the moment if anyone around here needs a ride down. Will probably be around Slab City in a few days.
