Post(card) History: Episode 2










As you might notice, this is the 'popular' bowling green in sunny Mildura, about 4 hours north west of Melbourne. The town's 'unpopular' bowling green, located across the tracks on the the other side of town, recently raised their beer prices by 20 cents.

There seems to be some debate about the highest recorded temperature in Mildura, with 47.2 degrees celsius recorded on January 10, 1939. It might have reached 50.8 degrees once but no one there can tell me exactly when. Seems they were all at the popular bowling green knocking back some cheap beers..

Bjarki and Naes' Incredible Numerical Challenge (Part 0)


It's time to get all Mathematical on ya 'ere at the Exchange. The object of the Incredible Numerical Challenge (INC) is pretty straightforward; take a photo of an actual number or something representing that number, starting at the beginning and ascending in order until the marvellous and wondrous end of the universe! (or we get bored)
So without further crapping on, I present thee.. Zero! (Some might say that Zero is not actually a number, but I say let's get naughty!) Over to you up there bro..

Natural Landscape from the other side






Don't jump!

This is the Mitchell River National Park in Victoria. A slightly hairy vantage point from the 'pink ribbon trail', a somewhat dubious track mostly followed by spotting random pink ribbons hangin off trees.

The rewards for a hard day's hike: blissful freshwater swimming and maybe the chance to see a rock wallaby or two.

Natural Landscape in Iceland

You could say this is a natural landscape within the city. This photo is taken from one of the busiest traffic streets in Reykjavík; Sæbraut, the mountain is called Esja.

Bonus Supermarket in Reykjavík, the icicles initially caught my attention.
