Hi. My name is Scott, and I have a typewriter problem. Well…. Not a problem per-se. They’ve all been kept in cupboards and haven’t obstructed hallways and bedrooms. I’m not climbing over typewriters to get into bed. That said, I have contemplated keeping one next to the bed so that I could bash off some…
Finding a venue that will suit everyone’s needs has proved to be a bit of a pain in the backside. So I’ve decided to think outside of the box, and make up a venue of my own. Captain Burke park is a beautiful spot that sits under the Story bridge at Kangaroo point. It has…
