In all my flat outness, it’s just dawned on me that our next and final  http://www.backpackingqueensland.com.au/  meeting @ TQ HQ in Brisbane next Thursday. Now that means I gotta get prepared and all organised like. “Yikes” as Scooby Doo’s off-sider used to say when seeing a ghost.
So, anyone out there have anything controversial to table [...]

today is another fantastic summer day here in the tropics. I was bus boy for a couple of runs today, and ain’t that a blast. When asked by Buddha just now why I was bus boy, I said simply: “to be among our beautiful customers here @ Calypso.”  http://www.calypsobackpackers.com.au/ 
And why not, and that is exactly [...]

Rise and shine. At the Qantas club waiting for the flight to Brisbane to continue the good work. Must admit it has been a hard week indeed. Still recovering from the Sydney leg, and to be honest, another early night tonight in Brisbane will be good prep for the rest of the weekend. The world [...]

… the same blog twice. Who would believe that the cyber bunny here somewhere is playing tricks on me. I guess because of the length of it’s content it takes longer to come… reminds me of myself indeed. 
Njoy!

It has been a while unfortunately, have been in Sydney for the Backpackers Week there. A full week of meetings, political committments, sales calls, conference, awards dinner and then a weekend of the Backpackers Expo.

Bummer about this, but whilst I will be @ The Cauldron on Saturday, Zanzibar  http://www.calypsobackpackers.com.au/zanzibar/default.htm   will be in full flight as Aidan is having his 30th birfday bash there and I won’t be there! Neither will Margo, so, we want live video coverage!  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=39302716262&ref=ts
We’ll see. Wish I could be there, the place is gonna [...]

… pics or something fun. Maybe a video clip off the Flip. I will work on it and try to make my blogs not so boring. I’ll get some footage of people hurting themselves, that should get some larfs!

Well it’s Melbourne Cup Day, the one day of the year that every Australian and Backpacker alike become the country’s best punter. The hardest race of the year to win, the easiest excuse on the calendar to take the day off and get juiced… and that’s looking like what I will be doing. I backing [...]

… here in Cairns. Yesterday arvo I went for a walk from home to the Esplanade. Destination Mondos for some of Darshi’s legendary Chicken Fajitas.
What a wonderful walk it was, and what a great place we live in here. Very festive indeed,  people everywhere, just a fantastic vibe all round. People walking, jogging, strolling, BBQ-ing, [...]
