G’day everyone,
This newsletter is approaching 1-month-old. THAT’S A LONG TIME THESE DAYS!
Thank you for entrusting me with your eyes. I pray that we can entertain and perhaps educate you. Or are you here to entertain and inculcate me? Drop me a comment if you can spare the time.
Some of the articles here are re-written from the backlog I have at Medium. That channel is also still open if you are a member over there.

Binna Burra - Daves Creek track video
As a Founding Subscriber to this channel, you have the dubious privilege of watching me grow as a YouTube filmmaker. Hahahaha. This sounds ridiculous in my head, and yet my fingers continue to type it!!!
Here’s a visual summary of a hike I made recently. It’s a stunning place. My photography really doesn’t do it justice.
Binna Burra - Daves Creek Trail
Finally, I had the good fortune to watch a biography of Sir Spike Milligan last night, and some of his quotes brought me to tears. [try this link to Docplay]
Here’s a cracker that is just right to say goodbye with today.
