About

I'm Lyall, a generation Y health professional who enjoys using apparatus for capturing moving images from time to time.

Conversations, wine, coffee and socks are nice too.

For the most part this tumblelog isn't a beacon of erudition however occasionally I post serious entries about healthcare and the image of nursing.

I have a surprising number of fashion and chaps related posts.

I run Space Rules, contribute to We Come From A Sunburnt Country a tumblr about Australia and a tumblr dedicated to gastronomic atrocities of the past called Aspic And Other Delights .

Currently living in Port Hedland and working in South Hedland, Western Australia at the regional hospital.

Ask a question.

I’m totally excited SBS One is screening two films for a night of Ozploitation this Saturday 27 March. Don’t miss it!  - Lyall 22:00Not Quite HollywoodAn irreverent look at the burgeoning Australian film industry in the 1970s. This film follows the wild, wonderful, untold story of ‘Ozploitation’ cinema; a time when Australian cinema got its gear off and showed the world a full-frontal explosion of sex, violence, horror and foot-to-the-floor, full bore action! These are the real stories from the people who were there - wild, trail-blazing cinematic mavericks who snubbed their nose at authority, made their own rules and in the process introduced the car chase, karate kicks, BMX bikes and the water-bed to Australian cinema screens. Includes interviews with Quentin Tarantino, Dennis Hopper, Jamie Lee Curtis and Barry Humphries. Directed by Mark Hartley. (Commissioned by SBS in English) (Documentary) 2008 MAV (L,S,V,N) CC WS23:45The Adventures Of Barry McKenzieA classic example of ‘Ozploitation’ cinema. The shameless saga of a young Aussie in Pommyland! Barry ‘Bazza’ McKenzie travels to England with his aunt Edna Everage to advance his cultural education. Bazza is a young Aussie fond of beer, Bondi and beautiful ‘sheilas’. He settles in Earl’s Court: gets drunk, is ripped off, insulted and exploited. Directed by Bruce Beresford and stars Barry Crocker, Barry Humphries, Spike Milligan and Peter Cook. (From Australia in English) (Comedy) 1972 WS
