Taken at Silverton, New South Wales / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- / “Drought Breaker “ / As the farmer knelt down on the salty sand, / He needed rain to save his land. / The crops were wilting, the cattle all dead, / He looked around, not a word was said. The ground was dry, where is the rain? / What could stop this worthless pain? / The farmer cursed in sheer despair, / He did not have a drop to spare. A thundercloud covers the western sky, / A bolt of lightning explodes near by. / The farmer looks up and begins to pray, / Hoping that the rain will come his way. Then drip-by-drip it starts to fall, / The crystal water like a clear glass wall. / The trees and flowers all in bloom, / Then once again, gone is the gloom. The water fills the old parched creek, / The rivers bulge as the waters peak. / The mud squelches through the farmer’s dry old hands, / As he thanks the Lord for saving his land. / / By Meg Hayes Year Seven / St Mary’s Primary School / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——

/ —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower, / Alike they’re needful for the flower: / And joys and tears alike are sent / To give the soul fit nourishment. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--

In this image I was hoping to capture the essence of the small outback community of Silverton that is so typically Australian. Not only were the Mad Max movies made there and numerous other movies and advertisements, it is a town full of history and wonderful eccentric artists. This is Peter Brown’s gallery perched on top of a barren hillside as you drive into town. His emu caricatures are a delight! / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-

a new cocktail? / See the free colour board to compliment Pour Me a Rainbow here / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / Moonlight Cocktail Couple of jiggers of moonlight and add a star, / Pour in the blue of a June night and one guitar, / Mix in a couple of dreamers and there you are: / Lovers hail the Moonlight Cocktail. Now add a couple of flowers, a drop of dew, / Stir for a couple of hours ‘til dreams come true. / Add to the number of kisses, it’s up to you. / Moonlight Cocktail – need a few. Cool it in the summer breeze / Serve it in the starlight underneath the trees. / You’ll discover tricks like these / Are sure to make your Moonlight Cocktail please. Follow the simple directions and they will bring / Life of another complexion where you’ll be king. / You will awake in the morning and start to sing / Moonlight Cocktails are the thing. Follow the simple directions and they will bring / Life of another complexion where you’ll be king. / You will awake in the morning and start to sing / Moonlight Cocktails are the thing. by Kim Gannon / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-

With a heavy NE swell closing down most of the beaches along Australia’s East Coast over new year, not even the pools are safe. In a somewhat typical Aussie understatement, the sign at North Curl Curl pool on Sydney’s Northern Beaches says “Pool Closed, Dangerous Conditions” and that’s if you can get close enough to read it without being washed away. A new years day swim to shake out the NYE cobwebs from the previous night is pretty much out of the question. While I was there, there were some much bigger waves/sprays but this one was pretty solid and nicely balanced the image with the pool. There should probably also be a sign that says “Don’t stand so close to the pool taking photographs” or shoot telephoto from a distance rather than wideangle. But then what’s the fun in that? Although the two feet of water swirling around below me was a bit dicey at times.
