25.01.2022 Book of the week. Silly Birds $27.95. Winner of the Speech Pathology Australia Indigenous Book of the Year Award for 2015. Age range 5 to 8. In this humble, charming and humorous morality tale, Maliyan is a proud eagle who always looks, listens and sees things from a long way away. One day he meets the turkey Wagun, who is a silly bird, and together these two new friends begin to do silly-bird things. The Elders and Maliyans parents become very disappointed and soon the loca...l billabong becomes a mess. The silly birds do not care for anyone and seem to have eaten all the food. Maliyan begins to see the error of his ways and tries to talk to Wagun and the other birds about their actions. No one listens. So Maliyan flies away and begins the journey of listening again. Maliyan soon becomes a proud leader and all the silly birds begin to follow his example. They all help clean up the mess they have made. All except one In this quintessential Australian fable, Silly Birds combines richly textured and striking illustrations of Australian animals with the gentle humour of an Aussie truism that it is hard to soar like an eagle when you are, in fact, surrounded by turkeys.

19.01.2022 Just a bit excited about the news that SA may be increasing the border zone to residents within 70 kilometres of the border. Nhill is 64.4 kilometres from the SA border. Waiting for more details. Fingers crossed.

18.01.2022 Book of the week. Birds & Plants of the Little Desert - A Photographic Guide $50.00. While titled as covering the flora and fauna of Victoria's Little Desert, this book is widely relevant to all areas of mallee scrub type country in south eastern Australia. The book is illustrated with over 950 photos depicting more than 200 birds and 430 plants that live in the Little Desert area. The majority of photos are detailed enough to show the finest detail of each subject.... It will be a rare event to see a bird in this area of Victoria not shown in this book, and includes almost two thirds of all officially recorded plants for the National Park. 330 pages with a comprehensive index.

13.01.2022 Friday Quiz Time. Where will you find this sculpture and what does it signify? Answer on Monday. Sunday edit. This statue is one of a number cast, so using the background can anyone identify where this one is? Many answers are very close but I don't think anyone has guessed the exact location yet.

13.01.2022 Book of the week. Olga the Brolga. $14.95 Rod Clement's beautifully detailed and exuberant artwork teamed with rhyming text tells the story of boisterous Olga and all of her tropical wetland friends. Olga must dance now but who will dance with her 'I want to dance NOW, I want to flap, kick and jump!' 'Well, don't jump on me!' said a small brown lump. Olga the brolga is in a terrible mood. She desperately wants to dance - but no-one will dance with her. Her parents have other things to do; Ellie the crocodile doesn't feel like jumping around; and Joanna Jacana only wants to sleep. As for Lilly the long-neck, well, she's a bit grumpy, too! So Olga decides to dance by herself; and when she does, something absolutely wonderful happens. Ages 3-7.

11.01.2022 Making firelighters for our next camping trip. Soak cotton balls in leftover candle wax. They burn for about 15 mins and smell so much better than commercial firelighters. #diy #campingtips #westprintmaps #recycle

07.01.2022 Warning for Halls Creek area. There has been damage to power supply for fuel outlets. Information is sketchy but it appears that there is only one pump working in the area. Be prepared for significant delays if travelling in the area.

06.01.2022 The hay art in the small town of Tarrington, southwest Vic is always worth the drive. And as a bonus, social distancing won't be a problem.

06.01.2022 I'm speechless! And we all know how rarely that happens . All through lockdown, shed cleaning was an idea more abhorrent than the pandemic itself. Today however, the planets must be in alignment. Woohoo! Disclaimer: The general tidiness of shed treasures is not my concern, but my car is in there and one day the sheer weight of spiders and spiderwebs will surely fall and smother me.
