DESERT DRAG

kvr — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:23:00 +0000

Cars! Fire! Salt! Ladies! (Actually, hold on, suspiciously few ladies…) And who could possibly argue with that? For years, photographer Simon Davidson has been documenting the Australian drag racing scene, which seems to be very alive and kicking indeed. (Oh, and thank you for pointing it out.)

IT’S A SNAP

It feels kind of weird to post an advertising spot for a university here, but that’s because they don’t normally tend to look like this – just see for yourselves. (And thank you.)

MOMA

MoMa is now up and running on Saturdays throughout the Tasmanian Australian summer months. It stands for MONA Market (not to be confused with the other MoMA in New York!). MoMa is a produce-based market so you can expect super fresh produce from local community growers. There’s also food workshops, live music and lots of laying around on the lawn. It officially opened yesterday and continues every Saturday until 14 April 2012.
