I am interested in your thoughts…
Recently went to climb (a generous word) Mountt Kosciuszko and took a few pictures along the way. At 2228m, Mount Kosciuszko is Australia’s highest mainland peak, quite small really, but still it is the largest Mountain you can easily climb in Australia territory. The two other taller Mountains, are way south towards the Antarctic.
On the flight from Canberra to Adelaide (Mount Kosciuszko is around 2 hours drive from Canberra), the flight attendant asked me what I had been doing. I mentioned walking to the top of Kosciuszko from Thredbo. She replied, ‘Oh.. I think I have heard of that, is it near Canberra?’ I mentioned it was Australia’s highest mountain, she looked puzzled.






In 2011 Lance Armstrong was awarded the keys to Adelaide by the Adelaide City Council for his contributions to South Australia, the Tour Down Under and cancer research.
This week, the Adelaide City Council voted 6-1 to remove the honour bestowed to Lance Armstrong. Today whilst in the Adelaide Mall, I saw this billboard above the Nike store. Without condoning the vandalism, it shows the sentiment here in Adelaide and South Australia towards the recent revelations.
My daughter went to a ballet rehearsal at Adelaide University. They wouldn’t let us watch. I wandered around for a while and this is what I found.
On one of the walls is a small white piece of paper with poem by Anna Akhmatova, a 20 century poet from Russia. I drink to home, that is lost, To evil life of mine, To loneness in which we’re both, And to your future, fine, -- To lips by which I was betrayed, To eyes that deathly cold, To that that the world is bad and that We were not saved by God.
