Day Two, Week Two: The day began with our usual morning meeting and I certainly didn’t have a shortage of things to keep me occupied. In fact, I found myself quite run off my feet with lots of running around to do, going here and going there. This morning I went to attend a morning(…)

Week Two, Day One: Returning for my second week at The Chronicle was of course a pleasure with such a wonderful and fun team to work with. With a busy day ahead, me and fellow intern, Sophie, ventured out early into the town to do our daily vox pop. After a quick write up back at(…)

Melbourne’s famous fast changing weather was on display over the last two days. Yesterday we were treated to a northerly wind that brought dry warm air from one of the biggest, hottest, driest places on earth–the Australian outback. Overnight the freezing winds from the southern ocean (one of the coldest, windiest places on the planet)(…)

 My first week at the Rocky Bully has found me in the paper more than any of my stories, lucky the second week is turning out different.  I blame Emma McBryde, past Jschool student and a downright scallywag.  Last Tuesday morning I was in the paper for the 60 seconds section. I had people in(…)

So, yes indeedy it is week two of my time here at the Sunshine Coast Daily. Day two of week two to be specific. It started well enough, I came in half an hour early to get a bit of work done (wasn’t writing my best yesterday, needed a little catch-up time) and found my(…)

I SURVIVED MY FIRST WEEK!!! So excited for week two, I have so much lined up, but more of that later. This how week one went down. ***Day One After a short tour and introduction I was given a brief run down of the paper. The Chronicle is of course a daily newspaper. However every(…)

Yeah, so I’m fresh out of parrots to perch on my shoulder, and left my eyepatch back in Brisbane, silly me. So that is where the pirate talk ends. Thank god. Haha. So, evidently the lack of an internet connection where I am staying took its toll on my timely blog posting, oops. Sigh.  But,(…)

It was hot on Friday. Friday was hot. I went with photographer Dave to the skate park in Bundamba to meet up with scooterboy, James. He and his dozen scootering, skate-boarding and bike-riding friends seemed like a nice bunch of kids. Just having fun. While Dave photographed James, I photographed Dave. Dave got a great(…)

So this week has been interesting to say the least… From a slow start of twiddling thumbs and getting a grasp on the area, I’ve gotten through a couple stories in the paper this week, fluff and actual news. One tip I’ve learnt is to keep calling. If it goes to voicemail, leave a message(…)

My second last day here, still got a lot of stories to finish and maybe a few new ones will come up. The day has gone to the normal plan, just ringing people chasing things up including a charity golf day which is an awesome story for juvenile diabetes, so people in the Wynnum area(…)

This will be short. I’m tired, I have a headache, and I have to get a couple of viable ideas for tomorrow. I took a couple of photos of the front of the building but I can’t be bothered downloading then uploading. So the photo here is one that I saw recently in QT. It(…)

Cranking the tunes in my car, I was excited to be heading out on a big adventure… and when I say big adventure, I mean a two hour road trip to outback Toowoomba. Yep, watch out world, here I come. Leaving my boyfriend, friends and home behind, I set out with mixed emotions and bags(…)
