This website is a celebration of the strange, kitsch and slightly off-kilter places that make Australia a truly remarkable place to live.

It will cover many surreal tourist attractions that I sometimes cannot believe are actually real. From time to time it will focus on the characters that bring these places to life.

There’s a lot of fun to be had here. Everything on this site has delighted me and some of my friends. If you are after something a little bit different, steer a little away from the Dreamworlds and the Sydney Opera Houses. Head down the back roads and into the regions in search of the authentic Australia. With a bit of luck we might bump into each other there.
