Queensland, MacKay Back in Melbourne it was getting decisively cold. The evenings were what spurred the decision to move towards a hotter climate, but as I approached various jobs and sent of resumes I discovered that was everyone else’s plan also. With feedback only from one lead I decided to follow it up. It was working the bar at a strip club in Brisbane. The evening I arrived, 17th July, I was told they only needed dancers, and although I was willing to parade around on stage I was unprepared for back lounge sittings, especially as they were full on contact.

Friday 13th June. I had cancelled my flight to Melbourne that day for a very special occasion, which I felt very honoured to be a part of. Naeri, Take (Naeri’s son), Stuart, Meilia, Lorna’s mother, Taori her partner, and myself took the box with Lorna’s ashes up to a point where she had visited on their homeland. We scattered a lot of the ashes to the wind, to symbolise the air, and to 360 degrees around the landscape and buried the box with the rest into the Earth. The fire had taken place with the cremation in the UK, and [View Full Entry]

Skipping the city as quickly as possible, you really need some tranquillity to ease back into, I made a ferry crossing to Waiheke Island, which is a 45 minute crossing from Auckland. I stayed with two different guests, Roberta was a lovely lady, we got on very well, she had had a hip operation, and the hospital had set it incorrectly so she was in a lot of pain, and finding it very difficult for anyone to take responsibility for it, or have it re-adjusted. Really considerate considering she has spent most of her working life as a nurse caring for [View Full Entry]

Vipassna The journey within, to experience with equilibrium, the passing away of layers and layers of countless experiences of negativity, and watching with delight but not becoming attached to the sensations that feel light and tingly watching them arise in your minds eye, and watching them dissapear into the past, only becoming aware of the sensations they bring. The first couple of days were hellfire, and it didnt get any easier to some degree, although the benefits I ve gained from this experience are pricelesss. In the beginning I was in agony, a pain I have had in my back [View Full Entry]

Well I've found it difficult to start writing about this next part of the journey, had some awkward moments, and discovering the strengths and weaknesses of being alone. Wrestling with my own thoughts and ideas and fitting into other peoples was not what I was ready for, was brought down a peg or two and maybe coming to terms with parts of myself that have been pointed out that I’m not quite sure what to think.. So landed in Keri Keri, postcode 0230, just to reiterate the twist of fate, for those into chaos theory or just understand the implications [View Full Entry]

Unfortunatly we couldnt make the Demo as we were heading to New Zealand on the 26th Feb. On arrival in Auckland we wished we had planned ahead, one thing im never that good at, aware that Cat only had a month to go, we put all our dollars into a hire van, reluctantly at first, but not really having the time to invesigate buying one, and possibilities/consequences of break down, but ultimatly its been bliss. Cat was very on the case in organising getting in contact with everyone who was on the Permiculture Nw Zealand website, and with huge response [View Full Entry]
