He will be talking about his work in his varied career, among others including the Australian Tax Office, also as Deputy Commissioner of Taxation, in NSW as Chief Commissioner of State Revenue, now as Auditor-General.

One common challenge for digital photographers is the storage and archiving of the ever increasing set of digital image files.
A lot has been written on this subject already, and Mr. Google will happily lead you on an endless road of discovery. I am documenting here my own travel on this long and winding road…

Just got back from a 2,000 km return trip from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains, via Canberra.
Left Sydney on Friday 4th, Jan 2008, widing with a friend down to Canberra, where we stayed 2 nights with a couple we knew. Ended up buying a new lower set of replacement handlebars for my V-Strom.
Then we were off to Cooma, where we checked in to the Alpine Hotel Pub then went riding through Adimanaby just enjoying the fantastic roads.
Anyway, the pictures from the trip can be seen here

Many believe (including me) that the Rancilio Silvia is one of the the best single boiler espresso machines. One of the very best reviews and instruction is on CoffeGeek and you absolutely must watch the excellent instructional U-Tube video on this page.
