We discovered the most beautiful place to stop just over the border from Victoria in NSW. It’s not an ocean view, it’s not in the forest, but it is sustainable and pastoral.

The Jab
I got the jab, 9 weeks ago in Australia. It was AstraZeneca, the only vaccine then available in Australia. I wanted to be vaccinated before I caught my flight to the USA. We stopped by the local Clinic, they said, “The vaccine will be available after Easter break.” We called after Easter, still no vaccine. Some friends … Continue reading The Jab
Leaving Fortress Australia

"Don’t grieve for us we will be here long after your passing, "they say to me "The dinosaurs were here They transformed into birds and flew away" "What will become of me and my children? " I asked clinging towards a future unknown. … Continue reading Listening to Old Logs
Kidnapped
I was shocked, yet glad to see my book child was still alive when I saw Visions from Two Continents on Amazon Kindle. My publisher Thomson-Shore who originally placed the book on Amazon filled chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 25, 2019. They never contacted me concerning the bankruptcy, however when I called them upon my … Continue reading Kidnapped
