...the cold wet weather has been getting to me I think....just missing the desert a little....

[Heather]

It's a beautiful scene no matter how many times I read it Ross. It's the only poem I've ever learnt to recite...

[r.magnay]

Yeah I love it too Heather, I reckon it takes me back more than my own photos do. I reckon Matt said it was inspired by some time he did on Alexandria Station out on the Barkly, I spent some time there as well a few years ago, wiring houses though, not working stock... I like to bring it back up the front from time to time, it is too good to be let slip away into the archives!

[Terry]

Couldn't agree more.
It got me thinking; I've just received my copies of the book David has been editing for Melbourne books of comp. winning poems from 2012. I also notice he has added a few sort of Editors choice poems as well.
If I was editing one I'd be asking Matt If I could include it as an Editors choice, it's too good not to be out there for people to enjoy.

Cheers Terry

What a lovely lilting gem of a poem to be reminded of on a Sunday morning Deservedly pulled back onto the front pages me thinks.

G/day Matt,
The Trout season opened here on Sunday and would you believe it, I somehow done my knee in the day before.
But not to worry I'll go down to Harvey Dam on Wednesday and hobble mooch along a protected bank somewhere

I may have missed the opening mate, but as you say - there's always 'Another Day'.

Hi Matt,

I managed to hobble about and have a few cast, only saw a couple of rises but managed to get a really nice Rainbow.

We put the billy on after that and sat around chatting to a few mates, while enjoying the company and the views.
