November 13, 2017 - by

For many Melburnians, the Melbourne Cup Carnival is almost the kick off of the Summer beach season. This event which marks the culmination of the Victorian racing season affords many of us (though not all, and with that I feel lucky) a longer weekend off work. So with four days to spare, The Generals set ...

Simply Captivated by the Eternal City of Rome

October 26, 2017 - by

Rome, with its centuries-old cobblestones covering its streets and narrow alleyways, ancient-looking apartment blocks and classical arches and domed buildings, evokes an understated pride of its glorious past that still reverberates up to this day.

All-Year Winter Fun at the Icehouse Melbourne

September 15, 2017 - by

Indeed Spring has sprung, but I say, only just. Just as dear Bitterly Cold Winter was reluctantly waving goodbye, we were invited to a Kid’s birthday skating party at the Melbourne Icehouse. At first, I was doubtful about enjoying the whole experience. First, no one in the family has ever done ice skating before. I ...

I am not a big follower of any major sports, but from time to time I do get invited to watch a major sports match.
