Troppo (Season 2)

🎬An eccentric private investigator with a criminal past and a disgraced ex-cop solve a murder in the wilds of Far North Queensland.

✍️A seriously good detective drama set in beautiful Queensland. I highly recommend it. It is original, with great character development and mystery. Definitely worth spending one's time on. Season 2 is available in Australia on the ABC network and will be free to watch on Amazon's Freevee channel from July 25th. It's a good show, and in a field of mediocre and 'same ol' rubbish, it is commendable to come across something new and different.

I just felt so trapped. We were his guests, he wanted to fight about this stuff - where could I go? What could I do? Everywhere was the backdrop of this beautiful tropical town, but I felt so oppressed by his views. It really highlighted to me what a protected little world I lived in back in Melbourne that I never had to have these conversations back home.

Archer Point, Far North Queensland

Archer Point from the air We took a trip out to Archer Point a little south of Cooktown. I camped out here eleven years ago. It’s a lovely spot and there is still a place you can free camp a little way from the lighthouse.

Listening to the Far North station on ABC radio is the audio equivalent of doomscrolling.

Cyclone Jasper is making landfall and there are people I love in the dangerzone. Liz/Mali in Hopevale are likely not to be hit by the worst of it and they have plenty of canned food and a generator. Mel in Darwin has prepped the house and taken herself and the dog to a friend's place because the road in and out of her suburb is a high flood risk. My boss is up on the Atherton tablelands having taken the family to visit her parents for a few days but I feel ok about that because cyclones tend to downgrade by the time they get inland (and they have heaps of food and a generator).

praying praying praying. For safety, especially for those sleeping rough. For minimal damage. For restoration.

Grateful I saw the reef late last year when it was looking pretty good. Huge chunks of it have likely been decimated.

Wait so you’re NOT Australian?

Confession: I stared at this for the longest time trying to figure out where it came from before I remembered the 'dude' tags on that regional phrasing post!

It was February 15th, 1989 when I arrived in Brisbane from British Columbia (I actually flew out of Seattle after a ferry trip and a longish drive, but eh, details). I was 15. It was around 3:30 in the morning when the plane landed. It was four million degrees. I was still wearing all my 'February in Canada' clothes.

(I got heat stroke the first week because I didn't know enough to come out of the sun. And a killer sunburn to match. Do not recommend.)

I'd come to spend a year in Australia and meet my dad (Australian). I should have been suspicious about the 'year' part when I was only given a one way ticket.

Had I been suspicious, those suspicions would have proved correct, because after various trials and tribulations, here I still am 34 years later. An Aussie.

(I mean, technically I was an Aussie before I left, because back then you could inherit citizenship and I got my Aussie citizenship certificate before leaving Canada, but there's a difference between technically and actually. And as much as the Pacific Northwest still haunts my vocabulary, and the Canadian twang still haunts my voice (although in a somewhat mutated form), I am one hundred percent Australian.)
