Australian Politics and Government<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

This should be riveting, ahem. No, Really. My lecturer for this subject was Nick Economou, and my tutor was Zareh Gazarian. Both these gentlemen are frequently sought for their expert opinion by\u00a0the ABC and the Australian news media in general. IMHO Nick is one of the most entertaining and engaging political commentators in the country; a veritable mine of salient and fascinating information on Australian political process and history. My intention is simply to transcribe my notes of his insightful\u00a0and entertaining\u00a0lectures. They make great reference material across the spectrum\u00a0of our country\u2019s wild colonial political landscape.<\/p>\n

Life and Culture in ancient Greece and Rome<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

beginning with a gallery of random pictures from my days wandering over\u00a0the piss-stained cobblestones of ancient Roma<\/p>\n

Earnest James\u00a0Kent:<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My grandfather was an extraordinary man. Practically a youth,\u00a0he survived the horrors of Gallipoli only to be sent on to the Western Front. Recently I have transcribed one of his war diaries. Following that terrible war,\u00a0he introduced the benefits\u00a0of electricity to the inhabitants of the pretty country town of Healesville in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, while\u00a0pursuing a keen interest as a noted field naturalist.<\/p>\n

Archaeology of Indigenous Australia<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Big questions, from\u00a0why the Tasmanians stopped eating fish to who painted the Kimberley ‘Bradshaws’.<\/p>\n

Reviews from the stage\u00a0and galleries<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Reviews of events as they happen<\/p>\n

Poet\u2019s Corner<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The work of some of my favourite poets<\/p>\n

Experiments in Writing<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My sounding board for ideas in, and variations on, the forms and themes commonly available\u00a0in narrative practice: bio’s, novellas, fairy-tales, plays and poems. Inversion of the common tropes and experiments in inter-active reading-writing, where both reader and author contribute to a dynamic story-line.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Melbourne Diary<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Stories\u00a0and pictures of\u00a0some of my favourite, secret places.<\/p>\n
