Black and Blue Walking Man: Seven Bridges to Cross (Part 3)
Part 1 Part 2 The Third Bridge: Iron Cove Bridge, Rozelle-Drummoyne NSW Like the 1955 original that I had crossed back in January, the 2011 duplicate Iron Cove Bridge was easy and pleasant to walk along. Barely 10 minutes later, … Continue reading

Black and Blue Walking Man: Seven Bridges to Cross (Part 2)
Part 1 Sunday, 26 October 2014. I got up at 7:00am to find a glorious day outside. I got ready, and half an hour later I put my long-walk hat on my head and set off. Prologue: Getting To The … Continue reading

Black and Blue Walking Man: Seven Bridges to Cross (Part 1)
My long-walk from Hornsby to Artarmon on Saturday 25 January 2014 would turn out to be my last one for many months. There were a few shorter walks in the months that followed, and then they stopped. This wasn’t due … Continue reading

Rust and Marty and Steve and Danno (Part 1)
In my last post, I wrote about how half-meditating to Iron Butterfly’s 1968 psychedelic classic ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida’ has helped me get through a current period of grueling work. Since then, unfortunately, work has gotten worse. The large-scale project I’ve become involved … Continue reading
