Balt Camp July 2024
A bit of winter camping at Balt Camp in the Wombat State Forest. There are plenty of opportunities for bushwalking, birdwatching, and exploring the ruins of the former forestry camp.

My first experience of the Internet was in the early 90s. It was peppered with people writing "welcome to my site" and giving us a list of links to websites they were interested in. It was a digital homeliness. Most of this function is now filled by social media.
I tried camping French island for New Year's Eve but a camping stove failure cut the trip short. Time for attempt 2. This time just me and my new toy, an e-bike.
I recently bought a Polygon Kalosi Lanes e-bike. These are some of my thoughts on it. I am no expert. I hope this may be useful.
I've been looking at getting an e-bike. I want to: * Improve on my fitness * Get out on some rail trails * Maybe some overnight camping in local parks * Perhaps some longer trips * Ride to the local train station to commute to work
Review of Sigur Rós at Margaret Court Arena, August 2022
It was a warm Sunday afternoon in Ballarat. The Eastern Hotel was bathed in sunlight. The crowd was a mix of young and old.
The Skeptics were a band ahead of their time. They forged their own path and produced a music that was both ugly and beautiful at the same time.

Review of the Elbow at The Palace, July 2011 Sufferers of angst could easily stay in their rooms with the Elbow back catalogue believing that Guy Garvey was singing their lives to them. But Elbow are much more than that.
