I am a writer and editor. My main interests are literature and the imagination, and spirituality. I have travelled to many places in the world, but my favourite place is my country, Australia, and it features prominently in these pages. I have a foodie blog: http://sandystriedandtrue.blogspot.com/

The first Australian-born elephant calf arrived this morning at Taronga Zoo, Sydney. AAWWW...a little sweetie.
Poetica - 4 July 2009 - Birds by Judith Wright
Jul 4, 12:50am    (1 review)  poetry, australia  http://www.abc.net.au/rn/poetica/stories...
If (like me) you love both birds and poetry, then this radio program (Poetica) is worth listening to. Judith Wright is one of Australia's greatest poets. Here her poems are read by Helen Morse, and the background of each poem is given by the poet's daughter. Wright's bird poems are beautiful and accessible. Stream or download this episode. It features one of my favourite poems, "Black Cockatoos".

An amazing list of books - fiction and non fiction - concerning the north east United States. Written by local authors, or by visiting authors, or written about this region. I didn't know so many big name authors came from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and New England.

A Christian woman blogging out of Seattle tells us how Twitter has enriched her prayer life and spiritual practice. She is a physician who has worked around the world (including Australia). Impressive.
Breakfast with the Birds & Exit Music

Some good photos of birds and other wildlife in Port Douglas, North Queensland. I visited the town last year, when a woman I had just met on a boat trip to the outer Great Barrier Reef asked me to come along in her hire car. We didn't visit the Rainforest Habitat place mentioned in this blog, but it sounds terrific.

Now I know what is meant here....and there is an element of truth in this. And it is quite funny. But I suppose the author is either still young or an embittered oldie. Who says you can't make choices as you get older?? I am nearing the bum end of my sixth decade and, with my accumulated wisdom and life experience, I am enjoying making my choices (based on who I really am) every day more than ever!! So there.

Some good photographs of His Majesty's Theatre in Perth. Built more than a century ago, it is the only working Edwardian theatre remaining in Australia.
Dictionary, Encyclopedia and Thesaurus - The Free Dictionary

My favourite online dictionary. It includes definitions from a variety of dictionaries, as well as a thesaurus and an encyclopaedia (and lots more!) And not all online dictionaries have a printer friendly page.It's all streamlined, easy to access.
