I have been listening to my niece Bella and been amazed at the wisdom coming out of her mouth. I have done a double take. We haven’t seen each other that much but I recognise instantly that she is a peacemaker and is a person who will make a difference. I think children will teach… Continue reading
Cooma: Staying with Family
I headed to Cooma and had a whiring sound in my engine. Luckily enough I’d been to my friend’s place to do some computer backups and video uploads and decided not to eat there. As a result I stopped at a shop and just as I pulled in the car made strange noises. So I… Continue reading
Canberra: Life, Friends and Family
Life in Canberra has been interesting. Like most of this trip I feel I am revisiting places for closure. I am allowing life to show up with not too much planning.

Canberra Designed on Theosophical Lines

Melbourne: Sherbrooke Forest and Conversations
I am staying in Sherbrooke which I mistakingly thought was Sherwood Forest. I laugh, I have actually been to Sherwood forest in Nottingham, UK which is not a forest anymore but was remembered as the location of the Robin Hood and his merry men. So I smile.
I’m staying with a good friend of mine… Continue reading
Life in Melbourne with Friends
I contacted my friend Jane and she texted me if I wanted to stay with her. She is in Heidelberg so it is closer for me to stop. I was feeling very tired as I had been on the road for 12 hours. I picked up a nice bottle of red wine and headed to… Continue reading
