G’day from Melbs, where we could do with some rain right now. Spent a while lurking here but now actively writing.

just up the road, nice to find others close by.

Opposite side of the bay, here. Loving this warm weather!

hi all, good to see a lively Aussie thread.

 

[NivKay]

Just finished levelling down my compost toilet, and I thought I’d check out more filth. How’s everybody doing this Sunday?

 

[UncleWayne]

The more compost the better it is.

Here here!

Just out of curiosity, for the authors here, where have you written about in Australia in your story settings? I’ve done Darwin, Melbourne, the Pilbara, Hobart, and an unnamed NSW country town.

To be honest, I haven’t so far. But I’m working on a science fiction piece and I’m setting it in Sydney, two locations to be specific- The Rocks and Chatswood

Hi Actingup - yes, quite a lot. Crown in Melbourne features plenty, plus Sydney and the Gold Coast a fair bit. My stories are based on factual events linked to my work and holidays so it was easy to use the places where they took place.

Evidence is needed.

Setting a story in a particular place, is something I've avoided, for no better reason than few if any lit reader would know of it and figured it wasn't that relevant anyway. I'd prefer to let the reader use their imagination and memories to let them relate to the story as much as to the characters. Having said that my next story is set in California in the 80's. It seemed the 'place to be' for the plot. Let's be frank, many Americans confuse Australia and Austria. Nuff said.

It was about 1 degree here when I went for a run this morning.

Lovely conditions for running.

Best time of year for Casuarina free beach in Darwin! No stingers, minimal crocs, more fellow travelers of both sexes

'Minimal crocs'.....do you work for the NT tourist board? That's a bit like saying 'welcome to our rollercoaster rides!' Nearly completely fatality free!!!

I really enjoyed it when they tried to rebrand the Wet Season as the 'Green Season' rather than the 'Fucking Hot and Horrible Season'. It's green alright, but that includes the rapidly growing mould.

(actually I love the Wet - it's just not suitable for tourists!)

And no, the beaches are not ever certain to be free of crocs. Just mostly free of crocs. And it's the box jellyfish in the Wet that are the real issue.

M 40s SE Qld here - back after a bit of a break from Lit. Hoping to connect with others from this part of the world.

So, apart from the stinging jellyfish and the crocs' it's errr....just fine! I'll continue to enjoy the delightful Melbourne bayside beach at Aspendale. Just the drivers to look out for!
