In five weeks, I'm off to Jerusalem! I'm going for the ROI120 conference, which brings together young Jewish creative types from around the universe (40 from Israel, 40 from North America, 40 from elsewhere: Europe, South America, the former USSR, South Africa, Australasia) to share brain cells and come up with initiatives for the good of their communities. My personal project is to establish a Jewish magazine and accompanying publishing house in Melbourne, among other things.
I'm also hoping to write some travel stories about J-town and/or Israel in general while I'm there. I'll post what and for who when it's all happily confirmed. May involve anything from hummus to Judaeo-Iraqi musicians.
This weekend I'm off to Benalla, a couple of hours north-west of Melbourne, to go gliding, and the following week I'm going sea kayaking to a seal colony near Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road.
In other news, I've written rather extensively about beer for a crash-course in the stuff for Camper Trailer Australia magazine; I've published a photo story comparing Melbourne to Osaka in Jetstar Magazine; a Kuala Lumpur hotspots page in Tiger Tales magazine; features about audiovisual entertainment and homeschooling in Caravan World magazine; and travel stories on Bendigo in Motorhome World. I will link to PDFs, where relevant, when I can.
I'm also working on extracting commissions for a fabulous mountain biking trip through Bhutan, which is leaving early July.
In the meantime, enjoy a few shots of night-time Melbourne. It's Little Lonsdale Street, in the CBD.
