‘Too painful’: Barra shares his toughest tale yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some stories you can tell almost as soon as they happen. Then there are the ones you carry quietly for a while, because just typing the words is painful. This is one of those. Twelve months ago, we lost Bean, our black pug, named quite appropriately after black beans. Before her came Lilly and Hattie, our two beautiful fawn pugs. Three little dogs who somehow burrowed their cute little faces into our hearts and became a huge part of our lives. And in the space of one year, we lost all three. The
With Dolly Parton, we lost someone who made the world kinder (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a lot of people I wish I’d had the chance to really get to know. Like that dinner-party discussion, Three Famous Dinner Guests, I’d be inviting Dolly Parton because she seems like one of those rare people who could walk into any room in the world and make everybody feel better about being there. Alongside her I might have a fella with the initials JC, and probably Weary Dunlop. But that’s a story for another time. Back to Dolly. I did wonder whether I should write about her, given she pr
The story that stopped me in my tracks this week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don’t often get stopped in your tracks by something someone says at a golf day. But I did last week. It was a Telethon event at Lake Karrinyup Country Club, so it was basically an unbeatable combination. On a perfect Friday, what could well have been Perth’s best golf day was being played on one of this State’s best golf courses. Then, bang. As Ryan Daniels and I delved into the primary reason for the day, to raise money for the sick kids of WA, a nice fella named Sarab Singh came up with hi
Nolan’s Odyssey and movies that make you rethink your life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I went back to the movies last week. I know. Hold the front page. It had been a while, but I was impressed by what Ben O’Shea, the movie expert at The West Australian, said about The Odyssey. Have you seen it? It is spectacular at Innaloo’s IMAX. Three hours of gods, monsters, ships, battles, boulders and Matt Damon super desperate to get home. Of course, I knew what was going to happen. Unlike my son who was sitting next to me, I have read the epic poem (or is it book?) by Homer (I know that’s
Why mining gets in your blood, and never leaves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years I’ve loved the nicknames that seem to exist in every mining camp. I can’t guarantee my son invented any of them during his FIFO days before he headed back to university, but I’d like to think he helped spread a few around. There’s Cordless: only works for two hours. Sensor light: only works if someone walks past. And my personal favourite, Wheelbarrow: only works when pushed. There’s normally a wheelbarrow at most footy clubs too. Aussies always use their own language and sense of humo
