Early morning fogs sits across the track purched like ghostly sheets wrapping up the earth. The first snorts of morning echo like mild thunder as the trainer leads the thoroughbred to the track. Vapourous clouds bellow as hooves clack on the even ashphalt. On the course he’s let loose let to fly, the sound of [...]

Large washing machine waves rear up like vipers about to strike, held in a suspended moment , before tumbling over and crashing into the oncoming surge, sprays of fine clear mist rise, the troubled waters, fuming and boiling with white rage. Sandstone cliff faces and rocks eroded by by the fury of time, are fragile [...]

Miles from nowhere, crunching our way along a fire trail with loose moon rocks everywhere. Telegraph pole giant Eucalypts crowd in, leaning over with branches that creek in the wind, almost as if they’re snapping. The wind makes the leaves rub and rustle like a cappucino machine. Hissing at us to be aware on the [...]

Through the slightly cloudy perspex window I watch them loading the bags , I’m sitting in 24F, right at the back, the smell of foods half cooked is leaking through from the crew cabin. On the ground it’s a wet Brisbane afternoon, just after a dose of thunder and sweeping rain. The crew are all [...]

The horse snorts a rough rasp in post dawn air, clips and clops of shod feet on cobbled stones of the farmyard. Cow manure wafting on the breeze, hounds are baying on the leash straining, handlers muscles like elastic bands ready to snap. The leader of the hunt adorned in red felt jacket, a little [...]

First, chop the onions with the thick knife, no fancy chef stuff. The sharp edge seems to lick its way through the layers, enjoying the guillotine. A mild sucking sound as does its business, then hammers into the wooden board, a knock at the door then it returns . Eyes, turn into a watery mass [...]

Streets become prisons, cattle yards, cattle milling about from one end to the other, the crowd a mumbling mass walking beneath the drone of music from oversized P.A. systems with wanna-be rock stars parading their wares. Food vendors adorn the pavements selling all manor of intercontinental delicasies, Afghani kebabs to Mongolian sliced beef.
Pushing through the [...]

Spider leg sails floating above, fingers wrapped around the ‘hold the rain’ handle, glossy and slippery, the smell of rain pelting the tarmac, puddles forming with concentric circles where the drops hit. Reflections of buildings and skyscapes on wet lathered shining asphalt. Backs of my jeans getting wet rubbing soggy against my calves like a [...]

Farewells and leavings, champagne celebration evenings before departure, exited bubbles, as exited as stomachs that churn with anticipation, buttery stomachs on long distance voyages. Sea spray whipping over the bow of the boat, plimpsols resounding on wooden planks of deck number two, feet pounding, thump, thump, thump, heart pounding bump, bump bump. Laps around the [...]
