The Cast
Chris
Your underwhelming narrator. New York born, grew up in a small town in north Florida raised - a graduate of Columbia High School and the University of Georgia. Chris has a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Missouri and until recently, worked as a researcher for the second best university in the world. Now resides deep in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, Australia. He works as a writer for a biotechnology company and a lecturer at one of Adelaide’s universities. Chris is passionate about music, politics and the Georgia Bulldogs and is likely to rattle on at length about any of those topics.
Dr. O’C
Dr. O’C was born in Ireland, but raised in beautiful Adelaide, Australia. As you may guess from her nom de plume, Dr. O’C is also a doctor holding a Ph.D. in Genetics. She did a post-doc at the University of Missouri where she had the good fortune to meet your hero. She works, now as a consultant, for an Oxford biotechnology company. Dr. O’C is slowly being driven insane by stay-at-home motherhood and transcontinental relocation. Enjoys shopping, European chocolate, “Home and Away” and walks by the Thames.
Baby Z
Baby Z was born in September of 2007 in Oxford, England. He’s a big burly beautiful boy - the apple of his parents’ eyes. He shares his middle name with his paternal grandfather. He’s a world traveler and the holder of three different passports. It’s hard to know what Z enjoys from one day to the next, but he’s starting to be a big fan of Papa-cuddles.
Timmins
The dog. Timmins is a six year old Siberian Husky. Like your narrator, an American expatriate, Timmins enjoys running, stalking sheep and catching and killing the occasional item of wildlife. His dislikes include swans and cats. Timmins is perhaps the only dog in the world to have lived on three different continents.

“The mission of Columbia High School is to provide a safe, effective environment in which students can learn, and teachers can teach.”…“We are Columbia High School, we’re proud of our students and teachers, and no one can change that.”…“When it all boils down, those aren’t just words - they’re far more than that. Just ask any student, faculty or staff member, administrator, alumni, or almost any citizen of Lake City, Florda (think the author meant FLORIDA?).” http://ccsb.members.atlantic.net/ColumbiaHigh/index.html
I always wanted to know why the indigenous people of 48,000+ years ago, only first started to vote a few years ago. “Ask Australians when Aborigines got the vote and most of them will say 1967″ http://www.aec.gov.au/voting/indigenous_vote/aborigin.htm
My vote was for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation.
Gotta love those Brizzy gals.
“ I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians… They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate. A truly multi-cultural country can never be strong or united…America and Great Britain are currently paying the price.” - Pauline Hanson
I believe in CDV, the politically minded moral driven Ph. D, music lover expatriate that finds himself residing in a country upside down. I am just trying to figure out how the nerd became such a street smart kid, or is it the other way around. Your life in textual content is a real good read , add the visuals and it is a beautiful insight. Thank you for sharing some pieces of your ideological structure and brilliant photography.

Hi Chris- Love your blog and I’ll be adding you to my blogroll. Also an American expat in Australia… since 2003. Born in NY, but moved all over and spent much of my childhood in Florida, just outside Tampa. Still a Seminole at heart too! Love your photos… avid phototographer myself. Oh and the best part, you are an Obama supporter yourself. Thank god for that!
All the best in your adventures! Cheers!
