Welcome to my website

Hi, I’m George, former Baroque composer and all-round bon vivant, these days to be found riding around Melbourne on a bicycle. Days out are so much fun, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll be wanting to get out and about as often as possible. So buckle up your shoes and join me as I go here, there and everywhere. Wig, clavichord, go!

Cow en route to Agonda, Goa, Dec 2014. As you know, cows abound in India and may go where they like and do as they please (within reason). This one was walking to Agonda beach in Goa. I passed her on the way.
Palolem beach, Goa, Dec 2014. We stayed here for a few days. It was just gorgeous.
Trucks on trains (Part 2), Mangaluru (Mangalore), Karnataka, Dec 2014. We had boarded a train from Mangalore to Kumta, further up the coast in Karnataka. We had only just pulled out of Mangalore station when we pulled into a siding and sat there for two hours. A long train carrying trucks passed by during our wait. No one knows why trains stop like this. They just do.
In autorickshaw going to Bangalore Fort, Bengaluru, Karnataka, Dec 2014. It is such fun to ride in autorickshaws in India. In the south they are more often metered - much better. In the north there is less metering and more haggling - not so good. We preferred travelling in south India.
Early morning, Jawbone Flora and Fauna Reserve, Williamstown, Jun 2021. A former rifle range, Jawbone Flora and Fauna Reserve is one of a series of marine and wetland reserves that run along coastal inner-western Melbourne from Williamstown to Point Cook. It is one of our favourite local destinations. A walking and cycling trail runs through the reserve and there are two bird hides from which to spot dozens of species of birds – not that you need them.
Horses in a field, Bambra-Aireys Inlet Road, Aireys Inlet, Jan 2021. After we visited the lovely Distillery Creek Picnic Ground in Aireys Inlet to walk along the Nature Trail, we stopped by the side of the road to watch some horses.
