This section of Lateral Science is a series of accounts and photographs of three months in Australia. It was started mostly for my friends to read, as I quickly discovered emailing them stuff was becoming too time consuming. If you don't know me, I must warn you that it's written as I would normally converse; which means a certain admixture of er... dodgy language will be apparent!
I`d decided to get away from the north-east of England in order to regain a measure of direction in my life. I'd become depressed when my Sis became ill. Lateral Science has not been updated since May 2004, and I haven't replied to any emails for years. This trip will, I hope, enable me to get my life back on track. Upon return the the UK I intend to regularly upload new subjects to the Lateral Science website, offer "The Young Man's Book of Amusement" CDROM for sale via a distributor, and attempt to get the Glitch & Hodges novel published! For now, within these pages, I hope to amuse folk with odd antipodean anecdotes.
Note: Short videos are included. They are in Quicktime format, if you're using an Internet cafe compo it may not have the player installed. If you've got Quicktime player, your browser will probably prompt you to click that the content is OK to run. It is.
