What I Saw From A CafÃ© In Fremantle: Spareparts Puppet Teatre; the now-ornamental crane at 'E' Shed; a line of billboards hiding much; and the corner of the railway station â€” these form the horizon of my view from here. There's Norfolk Pines, this cafÃ©'s umbrellas, and the aw…
My Sandstone University: Well, look here, I really can't think very well at this time of night, so I don't think you should expect much of this post. I'm thinking of that cave just up from the Palm Tree Beach, the one who's main enterance caved in a few years ago, leaving…
Placeblogging: I learnt a new word today: placeblog. (By saying that, I may be showing myself up to be rather behind the times; if that's the case, then I guess I am behind the times. Oh well.) Placeblogging is blogging about place (suprisingly), and generally…
A Walk to the Shops: A journey to 35.25223° South, 149.124475° East. Before I left the house it occured to me, as an act of recognition of Place (and how people conceptualise it), to find out the global latitude/longitude coordinates of my destination. I prom…

Where I Write: I have often thought that one of the greatest attractions for me to writing in ink, on paper, in a properly-bound book, is that where one writes the words is where they will remain, and the only place they will ever be. That's not the case when writ…
walk walk walk: [about walk walk walk] The above is about walking in a local urban area, and doing so to get to know where you live. A great idea, I think, and it's something that I'm very keen on. …
Urban Adventure in Rotterdam: Urban Adventure in Rotterdam Not that I'm bored today at work or anything, as you can see: not posting for a month, then here I am warbling on about urban exploration! But then I would really rather be out charting the course of a drain, or sketc…
One speed: slow?: Another gap in posts for this blog; sorry. (Not that there's anyone reading this to say sorry to, but as they say: meh.) It's not that I haven't been writing lately, I have, but in places that the web doesn't reach; I've been enjoying that. But …
