COME AND JOIN ME IN BEAUTIFUL AUSTRALIA. BRING YOUR SWAG, BILLY AND CAMP OVEN AND STAY A WHILE UNDER THE STARS


My Country
The love of field and coppice,
Of green and shaded lanes.
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins,
Strong love of grey-blue distance
Brown streams and soft dim skies
I know but cannot share it,
My love is otherwise.

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!

A stark white ring-barked forest
All tragic to the moon,
The sapphire-misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon.
Green tangle of the brushes,
Where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree-tops
And ferns the warm dark soil.

Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When sick at heart, around us,
We see the cattle die -
But then the grey clouds gather,
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady, soaking rain.

Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold -
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze.

An opal-hearted country,
A wilful, lavish land -
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand -
Though earth holds many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country
My homing thoughts will fly.

I've been to many places in Victoria. Matter of fact I grew up around Geelong.

Animal Telepathic Communication

Animal Telepathic Communication

Animal communication is achieved largely through telepathy. In March this year 2009, I participated in a two day Workshop run by Trisha McCagh at the Perth Zoo. Basically, Trisha told us about techniques to connect with and talk to any sort of animal, and we practiced with telepathy amongst humans and animals. To talk to animals, one has to be “in the zone” and have a belief in one’s own telepathic ability or intuition. To get in the zone, one must have a… Continue

Work experience in the Perup Forest - Western Australia

Hi there. I grew up in Western Australia by the river and was surrounded by all sorts of animal friends, from earthworms to lots of cats and dogs at home. I live my partner now in W.A. and we have an angel cat, Shandy, living with us.

Currently I am learning Animal Telepathic Communication and participating in Power Animal Adventures. I love all animals and completed a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Biology many years ago. I have my own website which has a link to my adventures as a fiel… Continue
