When you visit a town with half a name...Evidence of Australian counter culture in the 60's.

The Wheatbelt is scattered with small architectural surprises. A Geodesic Dome, constructed in the 1960's,  remains part of Beverly's town  landscape... and it's not all you will find.

"Fang-cam" and chopper cam

Life would have been so much easier if I hadn't discovered that one of my neighbours had sent up a tiny helicopter behind my fence, to film me watering my garden. I had heard the noise a year before and thought that it was a little go-cart, riding up and down the fence-line. 

Seering wind...

A small bird with a slender, curved beak, sat on the sill outside my window. It was panting: holding it's beak open as it struggled in the 40 degree Celcius heat. This is the harshest of places, sometimes.

Bats and stuff...

After driving a few hundred kilometres home, after work, I had set up a small table in my lounge with some Halloween things but it was getting late.  It was starting to get dark. I opened my front door to remove the tarantula from my letter box. Two little ghosts stood on my porch with their backs to me, facing their dad, standing a short distance way. "Oh, I am so glad you are here. I was just packing up. I've just got home and I was really late this year. I thought no-one was coming. Would you like some spider webs?" the ghosts nodded at me politely and I packed some bags with "ghost-stuff". An eyeball, some fimo bones, a ring , some spider webs and a spider should do, I thought. I forgot to put in some plastic flies. Ghosts are great to have around. Earlier today, I had leaned out of the nurses station window a few times  with a large brandy balloon filled with sour pink ear-shaped  jubes and asked, "Would you like an ear to suck?". I had given the kitchen staff and the nurses a bottle of West Australian wine each.This was the first time in years that  I hadn't received a pumpkin or a set of rotten, green witches fangs for my birthday. 

Angiographics

As a stent/graft production assistant, I used to spend hours sewing tiny, solid gold beads onto delicate aortic aneurism graft prototypes.
