Other Websites
While this website is primarily about Cairns and Tropical Gardening, as Champion of the Underdog, Rob Pyne also maintains the following websites:
Australian Socialism
This website looks at the history of Australian Socialism, including its emergence and decline during the 20th Century. There are also lists with links to socialist political parties in Australia and around the world.
Disability Life
I broke my neck and became a quadriplegic in 1991. However, after leaving Princess Alexandra Hospital I had to work out what equipment I needed to live in the community. As a result, most of the information I came across was from other people with disabilities. Consequently, this page contains information and reviews that may help others making the transition today.
Survive Climate Change
This page is all about helping people understand climate change and how to implement strategies to cope with its consequences.
Surviving climate change from global warming has become the task of our time. Climate change is the biggest threat to the health and survival of human kind, but our species will survive. As a result of past inaction, the impacts of climate change look increasingly dire. However, this website looks at the way forward.
