What is being taught in the colleges of art? Why does everything have to be cartoon or caricatures? Can’t anyone paint seriously anymore? My father would be disgusted with all this waste of paint.

I have encountered 3 brown snakes that were killed by a station owner, and were hanging over the fence at Taralga. A lime green tree snake curling around our fountain in Bulahdelah and a fake cobra snake along the bush track, he stood up, we stood still then retreated. Have been here 52...

Good grief!! I cannot believe these people. Sleep inside with the door open for heavens sake. Or, sleep on one of the many lounges by the pool if you are that hot.

I too, cannot understand the absolute hurry to be the first off the plane! We have ALL been confined for hours, just sit, wait and conduct yourselves responsibly, but no way, pushing, shoving and saying can I pass to everyone. I always sit comfortably, watch the chaos, the large hand luggage...

FINE = Fed up, Insecure, Neurotic and Embarrassing.

The artist said he captured the sitters life experiences, what? As a king in waiting yes, but as a King, he merits some distinction of a ruler. Awful, just absolutely awful. He should go back to art school, or maybe art college and do a revision course on portraits.

Australia was known for its idiosyncratic humour, that has all but disappeared. Having just arrived back from the U.K., I feel Australia is becoming very rule oriented, bordering on communistic ways. Don’t do this, don’t do that, speak this way, don’t speak like that, you’re racist, I’m just...

Aah! The bush, love it to bits. We lived in a condemned house, complete with blow flies coming down the chimney when I was cooking, a family of field mice in the chest of drawers, also mice loving peanuts and trying to drag them through the hole in the wall! An angora goat that dropped her...

I just knew it would bite them in the end. No discipline of any kind rears prococious brats. I learnt when to keep quiet, when to speak, how to behave in public all before I went to school. It’s a parents job, parenting is not easy, but children do yearn for guidance, and discipline is...

A sign of the times: Thieves usually work at night, wear black. NOT

Thank you for that idea. Still leaves me gob smacked.

I have always got suitcases from an op shop. This trip I thought no, I’ll treat myself to a decent one. I was advised on the durability, stability, fabric strength.NOT! My case arrived at Melbourne with a big gash or L shaped, several other little gashes along the side, and vinyl damage along...

At least I have a contact in Adelaide. Will do a list of mine and see what happens.
