For a legion of decades, veritably adventurous, optimistic and courageous, perhaps even naive, backpackers from a plethora of nations have temporarily migrated to Australia’s utopian shores. For most of these ebullient and high-spirited young people, their time in our midst is full […]
The time-honoured and at-times sublimely meditative game of golf has, like many sports in the modern age, a plethora of life lessons to impart to it’s participants and watchers. Sage viewpoints such as ‘to always keep focused and alert’, ‘do not be […]
There is, undeniably, a carefully and purposefully tiered (and at times formidable) class system that exists in Australian society. However, sometimes those in the top-tier echelons, living seemingly almost ethereal fairytale lives, living in opulent houses and wearing custom-made designer clothes that […]
Life, in all it’s abundant beauty, is capable of dealing us dazzling and dizzying highs and perturbingly caustic lows. Indeed, just when the vast landscape of one’s existence seems bereft of joy and hope, life-changing and redeeming light can illuminate one’s path […]
Australian country towns are sometimes (undeniably and soberingly) hotbeds of corruption among the powerful and influential, weighed down by recalcitrant crime waves and host to a plethora of murky, explosive secrets. These towns can appear to be utopic havens of peace and […]
Homelessness in Western Society is often viewed by others (particularly those residing in the comparatively privileged locale – in affluent pockets at least – of London) as almost a virulent disease. And those suffering it to be avoided, shunned and not ‘seen’ […]

Can secrets between those friends surreptitiously co-exist within the framework of a solid and well-chiseled kinship?

The well-worn and well-tested saying of “It’s an ill wind that blows no good” echoes resolutely and profoundly in stellar Australian author and psychologist, Kylie Ladd’s, character-driven and salubrious novel, I’ll Leave You With This. Taking place predominantly in the frenzied yet […]
Prince Harry – Often Misunderstood and Misrepresented in Life Hazily observing the much-feted British royal family from these intrinsically laid-back Antipodean shores in the 1970s (my childhood years), I viewed Queen Elizabeth II and her family as being ethereally beautiful, almost perfect, […]
The often complex web of family relationships can headily encompass an unforeseen and nuanced detour. Such truths are readily spelt out in phenomenally talented English Australian (she was born in England and migrated to Australia in 2006) author, Michelle Upton’s, soaring debut […]
The well-trodden road of marriage in contemporary Australian society (and throughout the modern world at large) is invariably intricately nuanced and defiantly complex in nature. Additionally, this time honoured institution is frequently tenuous and fraught. In short, the outer glow that many […]
As the cascading waves of 2023 begin to ebb and flow gently (and at times rapidly and thunderously) throughout the world, to different degrees in all our lives, now is a fortuitous time to accurately appraise our lives, and assess the varying […]
