I've been to Uluru twice in the past few years and had an absolutely epic time. Here's how I managed to somehow, miraculously do that without ever feeling the need to climb it. So if you're losing your shit about no longer being able to climb Uluru, here's a few things you might want [...]
Want to know where my next Rainbow Run will be? Want to run with me or just come along and give me a cheer? Here's what I've got planned. And if you've got a run you want me to come and do, give me a shout and let me know! (Don't know what the Rainbow [...]
A few weeks back, I made a last minute decision to run the Murray Bridge Half Marathon with a massive rainbow flag. It wasn't something I dreamed up over time and planned meticulously to be some comprehensive campaign. It was originally a one-off thing born of frustration that people in the LGBTIQ community are constantly, [...]
Anyone who knows me knows I’m scared of lots of stuff including all sorts of creepy crawlies… and snakes. Especially snakes. Australia has twelve of the top ten most dangerous snakes in the world, and I’m scared of all 172 of them. Even the ones that aren’t dangerous. They scare the absolute shit out of [...]
So I roll into Coober Pedy on Friday to run a marathon the following day. I see the two big Wind Farm propeller things, and wonder, does two even qualify as a ‘farm’? And fuck, there's literally not a breath of wind so they’re not doing much. Which is exactly what I’ll be doing while [...]
I think one of the secrets to being happy, is finding the hilarity in shitty situations. So let me tell you about the Amy Shark concert last night. I'm a massive Amy Shark fan, but have to say, the show last night was one of the worst I've been to in a very long time for many [...]
After I left the ABC yesterday at stupid O’clock in the morning, I wrote quite a long post about feeling like a failure. Don’t get me wrong, I’d had a great session on-air and felt really good about it, but it got me thinking about stuff. The post was pretty personal, and right when I [...]
A few years ago I noticed a bit of a pattern: I'd limp into the end of year thinking 'thank fuck that's over!'. And to be fair, there were a few challenging years in there for sure. But a couple of years back I made a conscious decision to look back at my year a [...]
The other day I saw a teeth whitening ad, and I thought, "who the fuck gets to decide what colour our teeth 'should' be? That bright white is beautiful, and the colour they actually, naturally are, is not?". This morning while I was having breakfast and the local 'spoggies', (House Sparrows), were tucking in to [...]
Yesterday in Australia we had a thing called 'The Melbourne Cup' - a horse race that supposedly 'stops the nation'. And as always, Australians spent an astronomical amount of money gambling on it and the associated races. In 2016 the figure was $657 million in just four days. That seems like quite a fucking lot [...]
