Aussie Joy's Life

Over the last 18 months I have had significant lower back pain after putting it out pushing a couch in Tennessee last year. (Tip: Avoid couch pushing alone!) I’ve been to Physio… Chiro… Osteopaths… Masseuse… doctors… naturopaths… Had X-Rays… Acupuncture and  had Micro çurrent treatment. Some thing’s helped short term but nothing seemed to work [...]

I recently met Stoney Noell one of the most amazing creative person I’ve ever met.  He is an entrepreneur and graphic designer in Franklin TN.  You can see a smidgin of his work showcased here at Epic Life Creative. I love when an artist takes creativity beyond work into everyday life.  His office is amazing…. and [...]

So at the Easterfest launch last week, I officially got launched into a world I know nothing about!!!  Japanese pop culture…  Anime…  Manga and mega ‘Super Mario’ brothers!  Two young, hip entrepreneurs, Chrys (Yes, he has cool, unique name spelling!) and Cameron decided (of all places!) to open a Japanese pop culture store called Neo-Tokyo in Toowoomba!    Seem’s like [...]

It’s 8:30pm on a Friday night… I’m still at the Easterfest office…  the dad jokes are getting worse – considering all the males in the office have ACTUALLY gone home early tonight! There is a nervous sense of excitement looming as the days before ‘bump in’ close in on us.  The program is being designed… [...]

For the first time in about three weeks, I just drove down Queensborough Parade in Karalee where most houses went under water in the horrendous QLDFloods.  There were probably only three houses with power connected and another couple running off of a geni. What a stark reminder that many Queenslander’s are still suffering daily reminders [...]

I’m Running out of creativity… Easter is getting closer… Work hours are getting longer… Easterfest is just round the corner… Hopefully I will find something more meaningful to say before all my readers run away! PS… are you coming to Easterfest?  Free Premium ticket upgrades are available till Feb 28!  Or if you just wanna [...]

It’s the ‘day after’ a week since the ‘Inland Tsunami’ reeked havoc on the streets of Toowoomba and the neighbouring towns of Grantham and Murphy’s Creek.  We watched this amateur video in horror as cars were swept away like match sticks by a raging torrent of water in an area that is normally a small barely running creek. I [...]

Today I was working from home when I noticed via my twitter news feed these shocking photos and video’s coming out of Toowoomba!  Toowoomba’s is where Easterfest the festival I work for is held.  A picture here of somewhere near Queens park where the festival is held!  Isaac Moody, my boss said “Downtown Toowoomba is [...]

I just sent up a facebook page called ‘Want to help Queensland Flood victims‘… This is an appeal to fellow Australian’s to help a mate out. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been deeply affected seeing so much of Queensland affected by the floods. They are saying over 200, 000 have been affected in [...]

Many Aussies have had ‘Christmas stolen’ from them them this year.  More then 1000 Queenslander’s have now been evacuated from their homes due to widespread flooding and king tides since Christmas day. I’ve been trying to keep in touch with friends in Theodore who’s whole town was evacuated last night – all 300 of them – by [...]
