Adventures with Cloud People – Travel Blog

I got this snap back a few months ago out when I was working by the Melbourne Airport. Driving home one day I saw the plane approaching and started wishing I could take a photo. Then I remembered I could do just that, since I had the four-shot lomography sitting on the seat next to [...]

Some more snaps taken around suburban Melbourne of the graffiti scene. See our Under the Bridge – Melbourne Graffiti post for a better look at some of the talent in a scene that divides opinions worldwide.  

Something I love about cities that doesn’t necessarily appeal to the general travel crowd is their gritty, raw side.

I’m from the Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne, about an hour drive from the CBD.  If you’re visiting, the tourist highlights include the Puffing Billy steam-train, the Sherbrooke forest (where you might catch a glimpse of a [...]
