    I love a sunburned country, of rugged mt. ranges, of droughts and flooding rains

    One part of the country burns, the other floods. Dorothea got it right.


    Urgent warning is issued as Tropical Cyclone Claudia brings half a metre of rain to parts of the Northern Territory
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Living here you would think people would be used to it by now. We have all 3 in some way shape or form every year. Melbourne excepted where it's not unusual to have all 3 in a day

    Well, I thought I would post a story about the monsoon starting in the North, which may brighten some ones day. Some of you fellas should really get out more.

    Here is Dorothea saying her poem. Her Scottish brogue shines through. If you haven't heard it, you're not really an Aussie.

    The Bush Fire, a poem by Henry Lawson
