Identity crisis
Today is “Australia Day” – a public holiday for everyone in my home country – and I am enthusiastic to proclaim my love of country, and profess how grateful I am to live somewhere so wonderful. It is not, however, a day without controversy. The 26th of January 1788 was…

Unclench your fists
OK, so the heading probably sounds a bit dramatic, something along the lines of “lay down your weapons”… especially given the crazy-scary state of the world right now. But that’s not where I’m coming from. I’m not trying to be figurative, or metaphorical – just purely literal. Throughout the day:…

What is White Magic?
As Christmas draws near, the phrase ‘white magic’ keeps popping up in reference to a wintery wonderland shared with family and friends. In Australia, however, it’s Summer, so there’s not a snowball to be seen. As such, the kind of White Magic that has been on my mind of late,…
