Lady Melbourne

I wasn’t sure whether I’d have to bargain while I was there, but it became clear to me that within minutes of setting foot in the place that we were fair game.

Tweet I only have these two photos for you today, my ear infection eased so I was able to go out for lunch but it exhausted me so it was back to the hotel and bed. The sun was out today and it sort of reminded me of Melbourne in how quickly the weather has [...]

Or in other words, I have barotrauma or an inner ear infection of which vertigo is a side effect. It’s a cruel mistress and there isn’t much you can do but stay in bed and rest until the inflammation in your ear subsides.

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been in Hongkong and I have to say it’s superb to be back albeit freezing cold.

That’s an old marketing slogan for tourism Queensland but for most people who’ve been on a holiday along the east coast of Australia in Queensland it’s a fairly acurate description.

Here is the rest of what I got up to over the weekend in Bendigo.

As mentioned in my previous post I spent a deeeeeelightful weekend away at Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula. It was peaceful, relaxing but one of the most exciting aspects(for me at least) was the great fashion boutiques I discovered.

Tweet There are more LMFF updates to come, but I’ve just spent a beautiful weekend away in Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula here in Victoria. I had a bad accident on Friday night (more on that later) so it was nice to get away and just, well, relax. And guess what? There was some [...]

As you all know from my absence last week from blogging, I’ve been up north spending time on some of Australia’s most spectacular beaches.
When I wasn’t barefoot in shorts and a singlet I was doing things on the opposite scale of the spectrum: Hair done at Oscar Oscar and then high tea at Palazzo Versace on the Gold Coast.

Tweet I’ve been on holiday for a week without internet connection- it’s been dreadful for the blog but really quite enjoyable to be completely removed from it for a week. This was me only this afternoon beach side at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast. I’m back to reality now so the blogging will resume [...]

Tweet Hello beautiful Sydney!! Here I am for some work, rest and play and it’s lovely to be back. Normally when I make it up here it’s a fly-in visit, sometimes for not even 24 hrs. This time however I have extended so I can shop, meet up with friends, check out the local scene [...]
