Landscape, Novelist & Fishing Tour Plans.

12/05/2011

Lovely morning here in the Goulburn Valley and they cut the oats nearest the caravan today so my concern about a grass fire has been eased.
Image in my post is of an en-plein-air landscape of a Queenslander style home in Cloncurry, Qld, Australia. Most Australians love the character of these homes. Cloncurry has had the highest recorded summer temperatures in Australia, but remains one of my favorite places to visit - just not in summer :-).

Dreaming Billabong
is the title for the series of novels that tells a crime genre story with an Australian historical background of a small town in inland north-eastern Australia though the experiences of children. It is also a beautiful coming of age story of the children and while not a romance story it does contain a sweetly sensual romance within the larger story.

Billabong
is a waterhole specifically a waterhole that forms at the bend in a river. The word ‘billabong’ is thought to have originated from the Wiradjuri term ‘bilabaŋ’. Wiradjuri is the traditional language of the Wiradhuri people of New South Wales.
