This is the busiest I’ve ever seen it here. For the first time, it feels a little bit like a tourist attraction. There’s a couple young families, picnicking and fossicking through the old gold mining slurry heaps. There’s a young couple walking their dog. And there’s also what looks like a serious wildlife photographer or […]

I was sitting out here with my son enjoying a still and soft sunset. There’s a few frogs in the field behind. The air is cold. But the sky is clear. My son was all excited. He was telling me about his Pokemon cards. And I could just really feel the magical world that he […]

A new bench. But I’m not sure if the audio is going to work because I have no signal here. I wonder what it will do with a file like this. I’m just enjoying the sound of a little stream gurgling along.

The bench is all covered in leaves. Like no one’s been sitting here much. Maybe the birds have been sitting here, not people. I always so love a quiet moment to sit on the bench. It really does just make everything seem like it’s all right. There’s more white mushrooms here too.

I had a dream last night, where someone told me I could just ask my body what was wrong. And it would tell me. I woke up feeling so happy. Because it seemed so true. Yes, I could just ask my body what was wrong with it! And then it would tell me and then […]

I was sitting on the bench up the hill before, and it’s quite a cold day. Mostly cloudy. I was sitting up there, when suddenly the sun came out from behind a cloud and I looked all the way down the hill. I could just see myself, my shadow, sitting there on the bench completely […]

To the birds out here sound different. And the trees are different too. There’s a mix of iron barks, which are the trees with the black trunks, and the eucalypts with paler bark. We’ve come here to have a campfire, a bush walk and a barbecue lunch on the fire. It’s a beautiful day for […]

There’s mushrooms everywhere. They are all along the path. They’re white and they’re pushing up through the fallen leaves. They’re very fresh at the moment and quite beautiful. It must be all the rain we had recently that’s brought them up.

There’s a big bunch of ducks down at the river today. My son calls them the duck gang. He’s busy hiding behind a tree hoping that they’ll come close to him if they don’t see him. But I think they are onto him.

Someone’s taken the rope swing down already. I wonder if it was the person that put it up or I wonder if it was the council workers making sure that there was no public liability risks. Sometimes I wonder if public liability is ruining a lot of fun in our world. I saw Edward today. […]
