Congratulations
Australian Of The Year
David Morrison!
I was moved by, “The
standard you walk past is the
standard your accept.”
And now the rest of
Australia hears your voice!
You little bew-tee!

Australian conversations: The petrol station queue
While waiting in line to pay at the petrol station in Albany, a middle-age woman of somewhat dishevelled appearance walked in from the driveway speaking loudly on her phone:
“Who’s driving my Commodore?
If you don’t get out now, I’m calling the cops.
If you don’t get out now, I’m calling the cops!
Don’t ‘okay’ me … d’ya want me to come home and flog the fucken shit out of ya?”
Ah, beautiful Albany.

Who needs la bella
luna tonight, when I have
the safe light of home;
the light that is in
equal measure past, present
and future within.

A bit squashed like a
