As a native of Victoria - the real one, not that Canadian knockoff - I heartily recommend this wonderfully illustrated blog on Gippsland, in eastern Victoria: Ben Cruachan. Makes me pine for the land of mild weather and lovely wilderness.

Profile
John Wilkins is an eternal student, who thinks philosophy of biology is at least as interesting as politics or sport and twice as important. He has a PhD from the University of Melbourne and a position as a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Queensland, in Australia. After a varied career, involving factories, gardening, civil service, publishing, graphics, public relations but not, unfortunately for the CV, driving a truck, John finally completed his thesis on species concepts in 2004, which he has worked into two books.
This blog is designed evolved to host any random thoughts that happen to be passing through my forebrain at a given moment. So there will be errors...

Pine for the land of Nelly Furtado?

'Mild' weather?
Spoken like a true Victorian.
Freeze your arse off weather, you mean.
Lovely wilderness - yes, I'll give you that one. It is absolutely lovely.

Freezing? Rubbish. Chicago in winter. Vladivostok. Anchorage - they are freezing. We barely get a light flurry of snow in winter.
