I'm doing a Zondrae here ... Had this one on file too ...
A triple-cross-tic where the first, third and fifth letters down in first word of each line make the words ...
Column1.Argadargada … Column3. Ross' domains Column5. desert lands
Ross Magnay, sent a photo of a sign to Argadargada and that was the inspiration for the piece
Single cross-thingies are boring ... :D
Diderot: French philosopher and principal editor of an encyclopaedia that disseminated scientific knowledge.
Landerandera – a waterhole in the area.

Argadargada
(March 2007)

Abraded rocks abandoned were once utilised for grinding;
rooted deep in ancient times now lie around for finding.
Gasps from heat distracting him, yes give a clear reminding.

Assieged by vast expanse of red, but somehow it protects you.
Diderot could not conceive how desert's spell affects you.
Aborted wreck; memorial – stark, of he who disrespects You.

Ramulose she-oaks cling to a wisp of wind and quiver -
guaranteed to hold spellbound. Look, rain it's Her life giver.
Abient animations may be seen for just a sliver

Dined beside the car near Landerandera left him sighing
(assisting foolish folk who almost copped the desert's frying).

Well said Marty ... I agree ... :D

I'd like to think that I write some good stuff (occasionally), I know that I have a lot of crap on my books, but by Henry-bloody-Paterson and Banjo-bloody-Lawson, the crap took me to some great places ...
