Writers on Bimblebox Birds Figbird Bimblebox Nature Refuge is under threat from massive coal mining projects (including Clive Palmer) both directly over and under the refuge plus all around it, throughout the Galilee Basin.

Poem for the Day: The Fascinator

The Fascinator I am at the Rec centre listening to Eye of the Tiger, the woofers and tweaks from a broadcasting screen of the Melbourne Cup. I am also wearing a flowered hat fashioned from a dewy morning. Three roses & the absurdity of a polka dot crown that becomes a curious millinery piece. We are twenty five women talking above the call of the race. Mostly,...

A Day at the Applecross Senior High School

It's always nice to have a break from your usual weekly routine, spending a day at the Applecross Senior High School. It was a great alternative and exceptional time.

Poem for the Day: Poetry Workshop with Tony Curtis

Poetry Workshop with Tony Curtis He tells jokes and Irish tales, takes you into a Dublin pub with barrels of whiskey, his words phrasing like the soft swish of a poured pint. When the room writes to the tasks of the day, he slips you into the backlog of home, through old grumbling nights with the porch light on. His guitar is the sound of dusk under the lemon tree,...

Poem for the Day: Creature Comforts

Creature Comforts There are several rooms in the house, with pet beds in geometric shapes. Some have man-made fibres, others wool. One has a compartment the animal can travel through. With no expense spared, it's a courting to give the cat ample space, a silence where no dog lives. At midnight, there is a weight of four paws awakening your impoverished dreams, the...
