For those of us blessed enough to have grown up in Australia, who could not reverentially recall lazy and sometimes idle summer days, where time seemed to alternately stand still and then speed up on a whim? Summers that felt like they […]
Memory (defined definitively and resolutely as “the ability to recall information that you have learned” and further as “a vital human process that involves encoding, storing and retrieving information”) can be a fickle beast. What if this integral aspect of human survival […]
One can only imagine the abject shock and fear (quietly and stealthily morphing into terror and bewilderment) that permeates the very soul and being of family and friends when their loved ones go missing. These are not uncommon occurrences and reactions in […]
Who doesn’t love a good rural romance set in a picture-perfect Australian country town? We know there will be sublime scenery, colourful characters and hopefully a ‘happy ever after’ for our leading lady and country gentleman. Yet we know the path of […]
Australian movies always superbly shine a light on we Antipodean folk and our highly unique quirks and mannerisms. And Australian comedy movies amplify our nuanced behaviours a million times more. Exhibiting a microcosm of lives which we Australians live to the best […]
If the torrentially traumatic, highly fraught and heartbreakingly gut-wrenching events and permutations of the Second World War had never taken place, and the Second World War had been a story that was entirely ‘made up’, it would be seen to be too […]
Is there anyone who is veritably beyond God’s redeeming love and help? In human terms, are there folk who cannot be (hopefully unconditionally) loved and helped? Why has it occurred in the past and does it occur now, in a land of […]
During uncertain and tumultuous times, throughout the centuries, wise and frequently world-weary humans have pondered the meaning of life. The timelessly sage and eternally reverberating words of renowned English playwright and poet, William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616), speak as much to us […]
On paper, a May Day weekend spent glamping in the windswept, wild and ethereally beautiful environs of Cornwall, in the South West of England and adjacent to the fierce and mesmerising Atlantic Ocean, sounds like the stuff of most of our daydreams. […]
In the heavily nuanced realms of modern society, our (hopefully noble) moral compass would have us earnestly believe that in this fallible world there are most definitely the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’. And that hopefully for most of us who […]
Is it possible for a man who is dead to be a suspect in a murder case? If there is DNA found at a crime scene of the aforementioned person, is it a slam-dunk fact that the supposedly deceased is in fact […]
Romantic love, experienced by most people at one time or another in differing iterations, is at-times illusory in nature. This love is capable of summit-attaining highs and depth-inducing despair. As Irish novelist and poet, James Stephens (1880 – 1950) said of romantic […]
In life’s seemingly random lottery, some folk appear to be almost giddy with the good fortune bestowed on them. Others appear to perpetually find themselves in a bogged down quagmire of misfortune and mistakes. True happiness and ‘golden days’ just out of […]
One of a plethora of conundrums facing all devoted and conscientious parents throughout Australia (if they have the financial means) is the decades-old debate of whether to send their children to a public or private school. Fees for the luxury of a […]
The eternally profound and classy playwright, William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) wrote, in the ethereally noble and cautionary tale of “Hamlet”, cuttingly of ambition as a character trait. He tells us that “The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow […]
Human relationships are, at-times, the most complicated and non-transparent of beasts. Abuse, manipulation and even betrayal may occur. Other times, the fine webs of human connections encapsulate the noblest of interactions, and are full of unending decency, loyalty, love and kindness. Family […]
Alarmingly and frighteningly, around 630 000 people go missing every year in America. Of that sobering figure, most are located. Despairingly and heartbreakingly, some 90 000 of that number are never found. (In Australia annually, some 38 000 people are reported to […]
The beautiful and timeless existence of love can surely never be doubted. Even a mere slither of love can cast undiluted and dazzling light onto an otherwise murkily dreary day. Further, romantic love illuminates millions of lives throughout the world every day. […]
Australian country towns are, going on initial appearances, a frontier embodiment, and time capsule of, deeply embedded old-fashioned customs, values and relationships…….or are they? There are some Australian country towns that exist as a veritable mirage of their ‘glory days’. Days long […]
