Every stop is a story - Darwin to Adelaide River

  Every stop is a story - Darwin to Adelaide River The Adelaide River Rupture (image to be uploaded - subscribe to be notified) The storm did not break over the Adelaide River plains; rather, reality tore open along the track. To the left, the familiar Top End landscape clung fiercely to its quiet melancholy. A lone gum tree stood sentinel over the charred scrub and dry earth, its leaves catching the last bruised light of a brooding wet-season sky. In the hollow below, the old fictional homestead crouched beside the rutted dirt road, enduring the heavy stillness that always settles before the atmosphere ruptures. Then came the tear. It began not with thunder, but with an overwhelming, luminous heat that shredded the grey overcast into molten ribbons. You could feel the vortex of raw energy sweeping through radiant ambers, searing cadmium oranges, and blinding celestial whites. The vortex descended like a folded dimension brushing against the earth. Where the atmospheric rift touch...

Rapid Creek Tide Out

Trying to make sense of it all When the tide goes out And the rain stops What was once seen is now not what is seen All the way across the expanse To the horizon A revealed beauty That is transient and formed Flowing ebbing and eroding Of continuous loss As present A simulation Creation in place And witnessed by my force in time

From Montpellier Park to the You Yangs

Image
Beautiful sprawling Geelong A veneer of suburbia each and every way And all of that granite just 22ks north east With distinct pyramid like peaks Making the flat plains so much more It has not always been this way Station Peak Flinders Peak A discovering with sheep Reporting that the natives were unwilling to work Waves of squatters drove off custodian resistance Conflict Aboriginal massacres Procedural lack of evidence Enforcement through denial of representation Legitimizing colonial  right of way Never to be officially documented A systemic off the record ‘land grab’ Plunder and claim Victim accounts reduced to word of mouth Forever locked into what can be deemed acceptably plausible Dogs must now be controlled There are walking and trial bike trails Picnic tables and toilet facilities It is challenging and family-friendly This, the now unquestionable modern day Australian landscape
