Dude, Where’s My Country
Dude, Where’s My Country, by Moore, Michael (Book – 2003)-non fiction Another excellent read by Michael Moore. Again he is not happy with Bush, and he goes through in detail why.
Port Albert
A visit to Port Albert and sights along the way, including the Tora wind farm and the nearby Agnes Falls. Agnes Falls are beautiful and impressive. Well worth a visit.
Wattle Festival at Hurstbridge
The Wattle Festival at Hurstbridge, featuring a large market, a steam train to ride and vintage cars to inspect.
Rosehill and Old Eltham Rds, Lower Plenty
A walk from the Eltham Environs Walking Group.
Coal Creek Korumburra
A short visit to Korumburra’s Coal Creek historical park. It’s now free, but quite a few exhibits have disappeared including the saw mill; a part of the park I loved.
Catch 22, by Joseph Heller
Catch 22 was one the strangest books I have read. The first chapter seems normal with a number of laughs.
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl
I read this book with my son Kyle and we both loved it. I have seen both films based on the book, and it is interesting to compare how each of them has stuck to the original.
Fawlty Towers: The Story of the Sitcom
A brilliant read on how the Fawlty Towers series was developed.
Rule Britannia
Another good read from Daphne Du Maurier. I didn’t enjoy this as much as Jamacia Inn as it was set in a more recent period than her other work.
