Echuca

 Finally went on a paddle steamer in Echuca along Dhungala/Mirri (Murray) river. Absolutely loved it, it was the experience I didn't know I was missing. While the modern riverboats have all the mod cons, they lack the charisma of the paddle steamer. Loved the pleasure of going down the river in one.

The Tourist

 I watched the first series of The Tourist on Stan a couple of years ago and have finally got the opportunity to start watching the second series. Glad to say, it's just as interesting as the first series, Watch The Tourist if you get the opportunity.

Netflix show

 Just watching a Polish TV series on Netflix called The Green Glove Gang, charmingly different ☺️

ABC iview

 Really enjoying ABC iview last few days. From TV series Ladies in Black to classics eg: The Long Kiss Goodnight!

The Pelican Brief

 I always find it interesting how much more you see when you revisit a movie, tv show or song, even years after it's been released.  It always adds much more with all the life experiences and world events that have occurred.  I found it very interesting to watch The Pelican Brief which was made from the John Grisham novel.  In light of all of Trumps' unbelievable escapades over the last few years that we know of, let alone what we don't know; I find it disturbing what occurs in the world of politics.  Very good movie to watch.

The Dry

Was quite impressed by a superb Australian movie I seen tonight called "The Dry" which is originally a book by Jane Harper, which I haven't read yet.  If you like slowly building suspense movies with a bit of Australian Grit, this movie is for you.  Superbly written, directed and acted.  Eric Bana is part of a great ensemble building a suspense that leaves you wondering ... and hanging ... to know the truth until the end.
