I still call Australia home


Five months since I left Australia. Having trouble with words today so instead I will post a picture of Warren Ellis, lead violinist for the Dirty Three (from Melbourne, Australia). Their music ranges from a gentle lull to a violent crashing shriek Perfect for train rides, people watching and generally living. This band paints sonic pictures of the Australian landscape... wide, empty, beautiful, harsh, strange, dry, vast, personal... it could be the oceans, or the mountains, the deserts or the farms... or even life in the city.

The landscapes created by the Dirty Three are a great analogy for my life in the last few months. Unique, special, challenging, tiring but ultimately rewarding.

My family
My family: John (Sophie's boyfriend), Sophie, me, Dad, Kyle and Mum. I miss you guys a lot, speak to you soon.

2 years? hmmm, yes it has. I still remeber it, that night of the SPMs pub crawl where we hung back at the $6 jub place and then skipped on forward to the Downunder Bar... a brilliant night. Have fun back home.
