New at my Patreon… I once wrote about my strange method of choosing a cafe when visiting a new city, based solely on names. This week I tried it out in Bundaberg:

Ugh I should’ve taken the 5.30am train from Bundaberg. The 10am train is packed to the brim, including noisy kids, and the economy seats are narrow. Not much fun. I’ve managed to relocate to an aisle seat, so I may survive.
If trains are this full, why are there only one or two between Bundaberg and Brisbane each day? Put more trains on, I say.

Bundaberg Post Office. You have to admire a country post office with a clock tower and palm trees. Especially when the building hasn’t been sold off to become a tacky retail outlet.

I located some unsigned copies of my books at Dymocks Bundaberg, and we can’t have that! So drop by for a freshly signed copy next time you’re in town.

A Hawaiian Cuckoo hanging around the past few days. Looking for a nest to lay her eggs I’m guessing. An abandoned nest of a Wattle bird in one of my hanging pot plants, so I’ve planted a fake egg hoping the cuckoo may lay her egg here. #HawaiianCuckoo #WattleBird #Birds #Nest #Bundaberg #SouthEastQueensland

I’ve made it big in the Bundaberg media! Clearly my work here is done.
