drenching at Broken Hill...

Never did rushing water and mud look so gloriously ochre-red together... The blue sky seems to be a smiling observer...
+ Broken Hill cops a drenching with half of all last year's rainfall falling in just 20 minutes https://t.co/pL1s1SjDlt https://t.co/94E4CLxzYv

past Sunday rituals...

Some Sunday rituals may not be practised any more, but many remember with nostalgic respect+maybe a twinge of loss...the morning church service, the Sunday roast for lunch (cooked by a Mum), the afternoon lazing usu. reading+in my case, the boiled egg+vegemite on toast for tea... https://t.co/PEHkLtGnnX

Stockholm’s archipelago is the largest group of islands in Sweden and the second-largest in the Baltic Sea.

Twice a year, the Stockholm Library Service rents a boat for a week and brings books to 23 inhabited islands. Each spring and fall, the boat is packed with approximately 3,000 books. 

Sweden’s book boat (bokbåten) began serving the community in 1953.

magic solution?...

Is this a magic solution for freshening up the troubled Murray-Darling River system? Or does the solution generate more problems? Predators of freshwater turtles increase in number when food source increases? https://t.co/cXftR5QQbX pic.twitter.com/Gw3WWQ2lj1

Not all industry needs to be in a big city... Bed linen, tableware and bags are emerging from remote Arnhem Land... https://t.co/3q3Dz4iZIy pic.twitter.com/aLnfr6OnWT

from a student perspective...

Australia - My concern is the view held by my H.S. students. They see Trump as a bad joke, a source of ridicule. They know more about Trump's day to day antics than they know of Australia's PM (some can't name the latter). So, the future? How will these students view future US?
