I came to Queensland, Australia in 2012 and started this blog, writing about people I met in Film and Music. Posts these days are about home life in the Scenic Rim and music-related things.
I’m in a Bob Marley tribute band called Roaring Lion, and we have a website: roaringlionreggae.com.au. Please visit to learn about our upcoming shows and tickets! I’m the administrator and keen to make it work well, so feedback is welcome and you can contact me here.
Joanna is British Australian. She worked mainly in financial news in London. In her forties she moved to her parents’ birthplace, Sabah, a Malaysian state on the island of Borneo. She became a pianist at the Jesselton Hotel in Kota Kinabalu and wrote a blog about musicians, which was popular among Sabahans at home and abroad. The blog was turned into a coffee table book when the Ministry of Tourism and Culture expressed interest. Joanna came to Australia in 2012. This is her second blog.
