New South Wales

As one of Australia’s largest states, New South Wales has everything this country is famous for, and then some! It’s where you’ll find the metropolis of Sydney, the rolling hills and valleys of the Blue Mountains, iconic towns of the Outback, the twisting Hawkesbury River, and some of the most famous beaches in world! No trip to Australia is complete without visiting this state.

Sydney Opera House: A Night With Basil Fawlty and Renee Fleming

Sydney Opera House: A Night With Basil Fawlty and Renee Fleming

Six and a half years ago when I made my first visit to the Australian icon known as the Sydney Opera House, I was impressed, to say the least.  In fact, that is an understatement as I was awe struck by how beautiful it was.  I mean, the way it gleamed in the sunlight was quite something.  Its shape was so perfect; the curves of the sail-shaped roofs looked even more...

Redemption in The Burrow (Part II): The Cracka and Macca Show

Meeting the Rabbitohs: Inside the Inner Sanctum of the Rabbitohs

It is often said that one oughta never meet their heroes in person, for they will only be disappointed and/or heartbroken.  And to think Hollywood arguably invented that dumb saying, and to think they’re the ones who enable John Q. Public to love their heroes.  It’s like mass manufactured masochism in the name of money.  But I digress.  For I am not here...

Still Hate the Roosters (Part III): We Suffer Together, We Live Together

Reuniting with my mates in The Burrow and getting a hug off of Reggie was certainly the high point of the night at Allianz for me.  Also, speaking of which, I would like to apologize to my readers and fans about the video quality of the clip shown in the previous article.  I wasn’t fully aware that I had the camcorder pointed downwards and tilted to the side...
