Although they’re quite common at our place at Strangways, it’s always a special delight to encounter an Echidna. So an Echidna train is a real (and …
The train passes through Strangways
The Bendigo wax flower is a tiny one, with many flowers on each branch. They are starting their winter flowering season.

Last September I was diagnosed with a blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma.
My first appointment with an oncologist took place at the cancer clinic at Bendigo Hospital. I remember entering the building for this appointment feeling as if I were in a bad dream.
Treatment for this chronic disease began also at this hospital in the Oncology ward.

This still empty space will feature the miniature works of all five Artists.
Such a poignant story
The found photograph presents a mystery that invites the viewer to find a solution, or to give it new meaning.
A friend, photographer Jim McFarlane alerted me to Untitled.Showa which invites you to…
…interact with a collection of old photographs from Japan, found in Australia, to solve a historic puzzle with the view to collectively finding ways to (re)unite the original prints to the people in the photographs, their family, the copyright holder/s or to an appropriate archive, and in real time, participate in the unfolding of a contemporary story.
It’s an engaging game, because all 308 photographs appear to have been taken in Japan between 1930s-60s, but were found in Geelong, Australia, in 2015. None were taken here, and yet a seller had acquired them from a deceased estate. But who was the deceased? The stall-holder at the flea market in Geelong could provide no answers, so it is…
