Here you go Rob, I think I have the one you were trying to link to.

Methinks you spend too much time at the golf course, and not enough in front of the computer. Wait, what am I saying???

Default What I do

Originally trained as a still photographer I have for some 35 years owned a production company in Melbourne making mostly corporate videos and photography, but we also produce TV and radio commercials as well as documentaries.
We've done the lot from car launches to funeral ads.
The documentaries have been for broadcast and online, including the 'Year of' series on the Corowa event as well as many specialist aviation projects.

You can see our work on our website here.

So..... (and here's the plug...) if your company uses videos on it's website, needs commercials or wants to inform or teach the internal staff, we are here to help.

I've shot videos all around Australia, in New Zealand, Asia and the US.

Plug now over, back to the rusty (and not so rusty) stuff!

Default How about "What did I do Today?"

Me, I drove 736 km today in the course of my work as a mechanic (fitter over here in Australia) Once I left town, and apart from slowing down to go through Coolgardie, and Yellowdyne, I did the first 178km without slowing from the 110kph speed limit(disconnecting the cruise control) I had to slow down 5 more times (mostly road trains) before getting to Southern Cross 222 kms out.( I wrote the details on the window with a whiteboard marker)
Work provides me with a V8 diesel Land Cruiser. They are a very common work horse over here.
I have discovered the benefit of the cruise control (which I wouldn't bother with back home in N.Z.
