In the last year of his life, my pa told me he’d made an appointment to see our local politician about an idea he had for solving the water problem. He told me to keep it to myself because others would say it couldn’t be done, but he’d thought it through and believed it was a viable option. […]
At school yesterday we had an ANZAC service. The students are always very reverent and respectful of this ritual in the calender. It is a powerful experience to be in a gym with over 600 teenagers and teachers and experience total silence and stillness. To be able to hear the slightest creak in the building […]
Today we assembled our year 9s to raise the Aboriginal flag. We then went to our lecture theatre with the intention of showing the broadcast of Parliament and the statement the Prime Minister was about to deliver. We missed it. Some of the students heard it broadcast on the radio in transit, but most missed it. […]

We were back on the road by 9.00 and headed to […]
This weekend I have been to Wilson’s Prom and back. Twice! My son had an 18th he wanted to attend on Saturday and is at the Prom with his dad for a couple of weeks. I always miss him when he is away, so I was happy to run him here and back. I also […]
Wilson’s Prom is about 2 1/2 hours drive away from my home, the way I drive. Yesterday I drove there from Latrobe Valley via Yarram and returned via Mirboo North. I enjoyed the drive through the various countryside in Gippsland. It was sunny yet cool and very pleasant driving. The coastline and the hills were […]
I left Perth on the 19th and climbed aboard the Indian Pacific for a train trip to Adelaide. I was travelling Red Kangaroo Economy. I wanted to cross the Nullabor on land and had planned […]
