fave websites

I love surfing. Body surfing, mostly. There's something primal about it. It's like looking into a fire. Flying a kite. Guilt free pleasure.

Surfing the web is nothing like that. It's like digging through the biggest attic you could imagine. Cobwebs here, stack of nudie magazines there from 1967, when people had pubic hair. I can surf the internet for hours, shut the computer down and feel knackered. I can slash in the surf for hours, get sun-kissed and go home feeling alive.

Here's a selection of my fave places on the net ...

Australian writers who you really should read ...

Julia Lawrinson - WA writer with charm and grace. A literary dolphin.

Matt Zurbo - Walk softly carry BIG stick.

Markus Zusak - He wears skivvies but I still love him ...

Anthony Eaton - A very funny man ... ask him about very long flights with men wearing skirts.

Jeni Mawter - How can such a sick puppy be so cute?

John Marsden - A gob of spit flew from his mouth while he was talking on stage and shot down a fly. Clever man.

Josie Montano - If you want to know about Asperger syndrome or stinky cheese sandwiches, Josie's your girl.

John Larkin - While the website is TOTALLY MUNTED, the guy is a legend. Spaghetti Leg-end

Shaun Tan - Everything this man does seems mercurial and a delight to the senses. Well most things ...

Barry Jonsberg - There's a certain sort of infective madness to his work and his world. Great guy.

Places you might find me online ...

Nick Possum Homepage - Thinking-Australia's favourite Private Investigator and founder of PNN (Possum News Network)

Earth Garden - Okay, I confess, I love chooks, growing things, eating things and hand made houses.

Crop Circle Connector - Beautiful artistic images appear mysteriously overnight in the fields of the English countryside. Lovely art.
