Just finished watching Untamed with Sam Neil and Eric Bana. It uses all the tropes, but with enough new twists to make it interesting.

After reading novels like The Bee Sting and The Coast Road, I'm thinking that there's a new genre we should call 'Irish Literary Soap Operas.'

Just came across this photo. Twenty plus years ago my wife and I packed everything we had into a trailer and a Hilux and moved south from the NT to Northern NSW.

It's funny, but I kind of appreciate this negative review for my book Whistler's Bones: "Sorry, I thought it was a terrible, sad story and would not recommend any one to read it. Not that I doubt that's the way it was back then."

I'm sitting on our little hill-island, surrounded by our swollen creek, wondering when the rain will stop and we will no longer be isolated. Turn on the TV and switch to SBS World Movies. What's on? "The Flood."

Louisa Lawson (1848-1920) was a poet, a writer and for 17 years successfully ran The Dawn, a journal advocating for women’s rights. For the decade prior she was also a farmer: and here’s all that’s left of the home she made for her children. 1/3🧵

A raven, glossy black and dark of eye, had roosted in one of the low branches of the coolabah tree, watching the street and its surrounds, as if to see what might happen next. He had stayed away for a few days because the drinkers camped there had taken pot-shots at him with their revolvers.
