Steve Capelin, Writer. My Missing Life

Steve Capelin is a writer, based in Brisbane Australia. His most recent publication, Paradiso A Novel, a work of historical fiction, tells the story of his Italian ancestors who arrived in Australia in 1881 after an ill-fated attempt to build a utopian colony in the jungles of New Guinea. This blog also contains stories about family, travel, quirky moments in life and refections on the world and its absurdities.

Australia's World Cup Supporters' Club Malta

There may be others but I seem to be flying solo at this stage. A lone voice at the local tavern who jumps up if Australia looks like scoring and mumbles complaints about referee's decisions. The locals just pause and turn to look at this loser humming Waltzing Matilda into a pint of Maltese lager.ndng




That's me - 7th floor. A long climb when the lift breaks down.
