A Memorable Day at Hobart’s Australian Wooden Boat Festival

March 8, 2017 by Andy 9 Comments

A Memorable Day at Hobart’s Australian Wooden Boat Festival

Two things compelled me to return to Tasmania sooner than I'd expected: one, my good friend and photographer Dee Kramer, who told me about the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, and two, of course the festival itself. “It’s only held once every two years Andy and the king of Holland will be attending”... The Australian Wooden Boat Festival 2017 It was a while since I’d … [Read more...]

A Spanish Festival in Sanlúcar de Barrameda

A Spanish Festival in Sanlúcar de Barrameda

Sanlúcar de Barrameda is an Andalucian seaside town that’s virtually unknown outside of Spain. I found this surprising given it has so much going for it.

As every year folk … [Read more...]

Colonial-esque buildings forged from large sandstone blocks rested on cobblestone streets, in a dry, savanna-like landscape. It was as if a European town, housing an eclectic culture of old and new worlds, had been tossed into the desert. On this particular weekend, the town was … [Read more...]

Peats Ridge Festival

Peats Ridge Festival

Cars, dust, checkpoints, jostling for a good campground, the searing heat and familiar bushland hum - part cicadas, part sun - of the Australian summer. It was good to leave the humidity of Byron Bay behind, 700 kilometres further north. Although as we were beginning to find out, Peats Ridge Festival was dishing up one fireball of an event for 2012. This was also the first … [Read more...]
