The coffee mug has finally been destroyed.

You know those times when you roll your eyes in scepticism as you listen to someone claim that something has happened because the universe is trying to send them a message? The universe has just sent me a message: Hey, what’s up Andrew? How are you enjoying the cooler weather of late? Did you see the latest cricket score? Been hiking around Cairns recently?

Harriet & the Wormhole

Based on a true story.
​It was the first day of autumn when Harriet found herself in the garden, crawling through pasty mud below an overcast Tasmanian sky. Having been born premature, Harriet was not the largest of babies by any means. In fact, Harriet was so tiny that upon finding a wormhole, Harriet was just small enough to crawl inside. Given that very few people are so diminutively proportioned, Harriet found herself thinking this a privilege that should not be taken for granted.

    Since crash-landing his spaceship on the planet Earth in the early nineties, Andrew has been trying to make sense of the world and it's peculiar inhabitants. Taking on humanoid form  in an attempt to integrate with the  local species, Andrew spent the better part of twenty-two years residing within the small island state of Tasmania. Perplexed by the absurdity of human nature, Andrew resigned to neglect popular culture and pursue his own ludicrous agenda. From 2013, Andrew spent three-and-a-half years living in Far North Queensland, where he found the human race to be equally inexplicable. Midway through 2016 Andrew decided to embark upon a journey beginning 'somewhere in Asia' heading in a 'generally westward' direction for an 'indefinite period of time'.​
