Back over at the Supertop and it’s time for Cold War Kids . Looking at the line-up for the weekend you can’t help but get the feeling that the organisers had their ears glued to their radios on the 26 January , when Triple J does it annual Hottest 100 run down, and then rushed out on the 27th January and booked as many bands as it could you had featured in the higher reaches of Triple J’s list. So many of the bands on this year’s bill seem to fit that category, and lacking a weighty back catalogue have the feeling of ‘one-hit wonder’. Cold War Kids with their third top billing on the main Supertop stage exemplify that theory. Whilst they put on an entertaining live show, complete with Joe Cocker influenced hand gestures, there’s not much of substance in the music that lies behind.
By now the sun has set and it’s gotten quite cold. Good job I have all those walks over to the GW McLennan stage to keep me warm. When Band of Horses ’ singer Ben Bridwe...

Whilst my week in the historic Far North Queensland town of Cooktown was for work, I did get some time to have a bit of a look around. When I first got there on the Sunday I had a walk down the riverfront and around the town and my work finished up early on the Thursday afternoon so I had a couple of hours of daylight to walk up to the lighthouse on Grassy Hill and then take the path down to Cherry Tree Bay, across to Finch Bay and back through the Botanical Gardens.
I then...

Work took me up to Cooktown in Far North Queensland for a week. Although it’s a short flight from Cairns to Cooktown I decided to take the more leisurely drive up there. I don’t mind flying but when work takes me away from Brisbane I prefer to drive, take in the scenery and have a look around.
The road from Cairns to Mossman follows the coastline, with some spectacular views over the sea and, as such, it’s a pretty slow road, full of Sunday drivers admiring the scenery. From M...

Although work probably takes me up to Cairns two or three times a year I rarely seem to have the time to take a few days holiday and make the most of being out of Brisbane. Although I still didn’t have the time I decided that this time I would take a couple of days leave and look to go out diving.
It’s been over 2 years since my last dive, when I did a day trip out of Port Douglas on a previous occasion when work had taken me up to Cairns. As I was in Cooktown I did look to go out to ...

All packed and all set for the weekend. At least I hope I am…
Worked out my plan for the weekend earlier in the week and it looks like this.
Saturday
Sunday
That’s the plan anyway, although not sure if it will happen; it largely depends on bands starting on time and ease of movement between stages. Most of what I want to photo is either on at the Supertop Stage or the GW McLennan Stage, the two most far apart stages, so there’s going to be a lot of running involved. ...
