Sahul...

Sahul = Australia + New Guinea + Tasmania + neighbouring islands...
Australian history is still really in the infant stages... https://t.co/UOPrJdf47k pic.twitter.com/2K9edEC0OP

everyday magic...

PASSING THOUGHT: There are times in my life when I feel that I don't need to go looking for magic...
It follows me...
I just need to stop, turn around and let it flow to me... pic.twitter.com/PuwoEpQq0p

'You'll Never Walk Alone'...

'You'll Never Walk Alone' - a song for all seasons...
NHS staff sang this as a sign of solidarity during the coronavirus pandemic...
British+European radio stations simultaneously played 'You’ll Never Walk Alone' as a show of unity amid the coronavirus pandemic.

singing on a train...

A few years ago, I was on a Melbourne train. Some heavy set, male, 'islander' teenagers were huddled together+seemed to be whispering...We all felt nervous...Suddenly, I heard humming, then singing in harmony songs of their homeland...Enchanting journey for us weary travellers...

Royal Exhibition Building in autumn...

Love this view of Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building framed in autumn.
The building has enjoyed a few autumns since 1880.
Interesting that the building, in 1919, was used as a temporary hospital for Spanish Flu pandemic sufferers. https://t.co/f66U8Rh2YL
