Eleven Mates on a Dinky-Di Houseboat

Birds of the Murray

Whatever the bird is, is perfect in the bird. Whatever the bird does is right for the bird to do. But I am torn and beleaguered by my own people. The blood that feeds my heart is the blood they gave me, and my heart is the house where they gather and fight for dominion- all different, all with a wish and a will to save me, to turn me into the ways of other people. If I could leave their battleground for the forest of a bird I could melt the past, the present and the future in one and find the words that lie behind all these languages. Then I could fuse my passions into one clear stone and be simple to myself as the bird is to the bird. - The Gateway Judith Wright

Absinthe Jenga

Absinthe is a very alcoholic spirit made from the medicinal herb Artemisia absinthium otherwise known as wormwood. This drink adds a certain challenge to Jenga taking it to new levels (excuse the pun).

Relaxing, fishing and nature walks

"Picnic at Hanging Rock"

All that patient waiting was worth it when AW caugtht a beautiful Murray River Cod. An endangered native fish which we promptly returned to the river to grow big and strong.
