For many around the world, the yellow school bus is a mythic figure - the stuff of movies and TV. We don’t have these buses in Australia. Seeing them can be mesmerising, they’re adorable 🤩

Treat yourself this Halloween 👻

BARREN CAPE: where Mac begins squatting at an abandoned resort, and is joined by 'friends' who invent a game called Night Hunt.
THE RUSH: where four young people get into a car for an ill fated roadtrip through the centre of Australia.

While I occasionally read a story online, I haven't subscribed or read a print copy of Meanjin for many years. I feel terrible about that - but I can't keep up. I read vast amounts every day, my reading ambitions are endless, and I'm exhausted.

I'm just one of many creators published in #Meanjin. I was 21, and the publication was a thrilling, inspiring and sobering achievement which has propelled me to continue to write today.

In the spirit of “just sharing something that’s not political” I offer these backyard plants that provide nectar for local birds every winter. One day I might actually get a bird in the picture.
