Monday, August 10, 2009. Wasps' Nest found in Guitar. In the last blog I spoke about collecting a guitar I'd bought on Australian ebay. We had a four hour trip inland from the Sunshine Coast through the Bunya Mountains and beyond to the tiny town of Bell. Pictured below is me collecting the guitar from the Bell Art Gallery which the seller was running on this Sunday afternoon. With the help of a screw driver, I managed to prize it out whole. Here it is pictured below. Sunday, August 2, 2009. It was a mos...

Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Irish Session in Australia. I'm back in Queensland, Australia and have been going each Sunday to the Irish session again in Finbar's Irish Bar, Maleny.
