How ya goin? We are a little behind on the holidays...Consider it a little Easter warm up for Christmas. These were taken when we travelled north to Byron Bay, NSW, for Easter Holidays. It was rainy and cold most of the time we were there. Thank goodness for the cabin. Did get in a dive at Julian Rocks. Bad luck though, no turtles. Weird. Even though the weather was coming into winter, the lilies still bloomed. All is good here. Looking forward to he holiday with Dan and his family. Enjoy.

MY COUNTRY The love of field and coppice, Of green and shaded lanes. Of ordered woods and gardens Is running in your veins, Strong love of grey-blue distance Brown streams and soft dim skies I know but cannot share it, My love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror - The wide brown land for me! A stark white ring-barked forest All tragic to the moon, The sapphire-misted mountains, The hot gold hush of noon. Green tangle of the brushes, Where lithe lianas coil, And orchids deck the tree-tops And ferns the warm dark soil. Core of my heart, my country! Her pitiless blue sky, When sick at ... read more

Season's Greetings, Here we are in the last week of school before summer holidays!(?)! Hope all is well where you are. Gabe, as you can see by the pictures, has been busy. Michelle has returned from a very successful data gather in South Australia, and I am even picking up some casual teaching days. We are also taking advantage of living in an urban area by attending concerts/sporting events. Check out the videos below by two acts we saw recently, You Am I and the Living End. Arguably, they are Australia’s greatest live acts. Coming up on our concert calendar…The Wiggles and Neil Young. Life is good! Rah, rah, rah. Here are some pics. Cheers, DMG... read more
