I'm in the Quantas Club in Melbourne airport. I've been in Melbourne for a couple of days for meetings about allied health care and health policy.
I could have worked at the hotel. But wireless broadband at the Hilton on the Park was expensive to use. So I decided to do my weblogs and have some nibbles at the Club, whilst I waited for my 6.30pm flight back to little old Adelaide.
I'm surrounded by a variety of magazines extolling getways and seductive luxury escapes. I just want to go home to be in my place for a week.
Bill Leak
Cheeky portraits of our Government politicians eh:--a satire on the work inside the National Portait Gallery.
Australian cartoonists are not convinced that the new sedition laws will not be used to clamp down on cultural critique, despite all the reassurances flowing from the Howard Government on this. Bill Leak is right.
Melbourne has changed a lot. It has got a lot bigger and there are lots of new commerical buildings going up in the CBD. On Friday I strolled through Fitzroy Gardens and "East Melbourne, where I once lived in the late 1970s, when I worked on the Melbourne trams and studied photography.

Adelaide, oh Adelaide, it takes me back almost 20 back, when i travelled to Auz, what a lovely pure city it was to the eyes of a 20 years old girl...:)
