Holidays with Sheep!
I was in the newsagency today checking out travel magazines and by gosh is there a lot to choose from. I remember a few years back (okay it was quite a few years back) when there was Vogue Entertaining + Travel and that was about it. There were over 30 different titles in my local newsagency covering just about everything to do with travel (except holidaying with sheep – which you think would be a big hit in New Zealand). There are travel magazines targeting couples, travelling with kids, retirees, l

On ya bike.
Yesterday I went for a two hour bike ride on the bike track around Port Phillip Bay. It was a beautiful hot spring day (the 6th day in a row over 30 degrees) and it really is quite a lovely bike track that weaves through bush, past cafes and grand beachside homes and, best of all, along the beach (as in right next to the sand and lots of girls in bikinis). The Port Phillip Bay bike track even made it into the top 10 bike rides of the world according to the Guardian news

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
On the weekend I flew a Boeing 737-300 and successfully landed it at Melbourne airport. Well, I may have run off the runway a couple of times on landing but I did manage to get back on it by the time we came to a stop. Okay, I was actually in a 737 simulator at the Ansett Aviation Training centre at Melbourne Airport. And it was so much fun. It was part of an ‘event’ with the Australian Society of Travel
