One For The Non-Collingwood Fans

I really hate the Geelong Football Club – fortunately, I hate Collingwood more, so Geelong’s win in today’s grand final is tolerable. If you’re a non-Collingwood fan, enjoy the following: Gold.

Epic DOOM Comment FTW!

I got a chuckle out of a comment against a story regarding the banning of Facebook for Year 7 and Year 8 students at Geelong College.

Anyone For Coffe?

The Forgotten Bathurst Winner

With the V8 Supercar endurance races approaching, I thought I would step back and have a look at some of the little known history of Bathurst. A history that will always record that Peter Brock and Larry Perkins won the Bathurst 1000 three times in succession in 1982, 1983, and 1984. What is little known […]
