    Photos The nights that count

    Over the past year or two a like minded mate and I have have seemingly (accidentally) created a little scene within a scene here in Pig City (Brisbane, Australia). After a few two many drinks and billies the other night (pic below) we got talking and realised the beautiful group of people we'd...

    Aussie moving to Canada (probably BC)

    Hey lovely people, I'm a few weeks out from applying for a two-year Canadian "working holiday" visa, there's a lot of reasons I need a massive change in my life and I've decided up-rooting and heading overseas is the way to go. I've been working my arse off and saving everything I can to make...

    Event Melbourne, Australia Anarchist Book fair - August 12, 2017

    The Melbourne Anarchist Book Fair is coming up :) I went last year and it's a pretty rad event with heaps of tables with books, zines, patches, etc and some cool workshops, and good food. It was awesome as I had just arrived in the city a few weeks before so it was a great way to meet folks and...

    Video Pig City Folk Punk - July 1st 2017

    Me and a mate decided to try and start a little folk punk collective in Brisbane, Australia. It's mainly drinking, sharing songs and jamming (on originals and covers)....essentially we get park drunk in this shitty town with acoustic guitars and noise happens. The vid is on my shitty go-pro...

    Byron Bay/Northern Rivers

    Any of you lovely creature from or around the Northern Rivers in NSW? I need a quick little escape from homebase in Brisbane and am thinking of heading down for a few days soon (maybe next week 13th-16th July). Either camping, or given the weather, finding a cheap hostel and just vegging out...

    Photos Hitchventures & East coast exploring

    Here's some photos from the hitching trips I've done over the past few months, and some photos from a bush walk I did when I met up with @Benji91 :) they're all from the coast between Melbourne - Sydney - Brisbane, to just north of Brisbane. The old rail tunnel is in Dularcha National Park.

    Event Crusty Park Jams! (BNE, AU)

    While I'm yet to find any others on here from or travelling thorough Brisbane, Australia I thought I'd share this regardless (just in case!). This Friday (14/04) is a public holiday, so me and my mate Chris (from rad folk punk act Hang) think that calls for acoustic crusty park jams! Come...

    Well we're not here to fuck spiders, mate.

    Hearing about some fellow Aussie's holidaying in America using that phrase to fuck with locals have me a good giggle (hey, it's a national pastime to take the piss out of ourselves and see what we can get away with saying!). It reminded me of this photo, just to confirm cliches. Had this...

    Photos Exploring Mt Tibrogargan

    Just thought I'd share a few photos from my wanderings around Mt Tibrogargan (Glasshouse Mountains, Queensland, Australia) back around 2014 with my mate Peta and her pup Aura. It's a gorgeous place - a lot of disused 4x4 tracks, plenty of wildlife (birds, kangeroos, snakes etc) and some fairly...

    Featured 5 months in the land down under

    In July 2016, I set off to Melbourne, Australia to study at one of the uni's there for a semester. And man, lemme tell you, it's been one heck of a ride. I was a little bit bummed out that I'd be stationary in Melbourne studying for most of my time there, but I had a pretty small course load and...

    I visited the Great Ocean Road three times in the 5 months I was down in 'Straya, lemme tell you mate, that road never gets old. I swear it gets more beautiful every time. I've got some photos from the most recent time I went, sometime the first week of December. Drove around, watched the...

    Featured Hitchhiking the Great Ocean Road

    3 days and 1000 kilometers What's up my dudes, so me and @Caro here from StP have been unknowingly co-occupying Melbourne. We met up at Lentils the other day and it didn't take us more than a brief introduction to decide to hitchhike the Great Ocean Road together. By the time we had finished...

    Featured Croajingolong Nat'l Park in Australia

    So this weekend I joined a group to go beach camping and exploring up north a bit from Melbourne. Croajingolong Nat'l Park is just about halfway between Melbourne and Sydney (about 6 hours drive from each) aka literally in the middle of nowhere. We set up on the beach, started a fire and broke...
