One of the artistes linked on the Artistes page above is Penelope Swales. She is also a Facebook friend and posted the following link to an excellent article by The Australian. 

 Link to article of Prime Minister Gillard's spin on the reality of Australia not being invaded by the early English colonisers

Penelope commented that few know or wish to face the reality of the law applying to the original colonisers of Australia, or the effect of that ignorance. 

So as Australia Day rapidly approaches perhaps alternative names of "Invasion Day" and "Amnesia Day" should be considered.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Penelope was also busy notifying us of an interesting article on the Hazaras, refugees from Afghanistan & Pakistan

Link to the Hazaras Article

 ---------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly I draw your attention to the following link which simply leaves me too angry to comment on as it identifies the hypocrisy of Australian law and belief.

Link to Australian Anti Discrimination Law reform

Today's programme did not intentionally aim to highlight some of our wonderful women performers but as the music progressed  that is what it ended up being...a showcase of our wonderful Australian female talent ... and because of lack of time many more were sadly unable to be played...next time next time, the year has only just started!

I particularly hope that some of the overseas readers

of the blog will come forward and say hello.

I notice that we have in the last week had viewers from

many places including China, Russia, USA, and Turkey to name but a few.

Our opening theme song from the Spinners was not idly

chosen....we are all part of the family of man no matter

where we live, our nationality or the hue of our skin....

Hello and Welcome.

Good News & praise due to Australia Post who delivered an incorrectly addressed New Year's card. All they had to go on was my name,unit & street number together with the incorrectly spelt street name and state.

Here are some more photographs of our river, despite the encroaching heat still full of water.

Darned things would not stay motionless long enough for the phone to photograph them in focus! Looks good in 3D though.

Compare to the above and October 2012 photograph and note how the grass is drying off. The water is not reflecting the blue either. Can't have it perfect all the time.
