I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

I can't wait for the cockatoos to come back. Seriously, there are hundreds of these guys that graze on the football field in both winter and early summer. I'll definitely be posting of photo of that. The noise, not so pretty...
I've enjoyed my visit to your blog.
You've got lots to say on lots of stuff!
I'll have to come back for part two at a later date.
Some things that occurred to me while reading your blog:
My great uncle's name is Jack McCracken - we might be related.
I love maps, too.
I wish I had known about your blog a month ago - I was trying to find some information on the Russians in Finland - I saw on a map at the local RSL that Australians had served in Finland and I wanted to know more - could hardly find any info.
Obama creeps me out.
My favourite ad of "Ads That I Like" is #25.
I like the name Albert. Well, Bert. Bert McCracken sounds like a good name from the 1930's, like that footballer Lenny Hayes.
I think you'll find Ramadan is the currency for Indonesia not India.
Henry is the ants' pants.
See ya round.
