Sometimes success and achievement just looks like this. A camp fire by myself, accompanied by a well traveled companion pot. I found this black pan discarded on an old building site in 2006, a few months before the great Zinedine headbutted his way into international retirement, while pushing a bike in and out of Granada. I didn’t dream of Australia yet, but was about to. How it followed me all the way up to Leanganook yesterday remains a strange oddity.

Then came She. Full moon. Up the hill with the cockatoos. Down the creek, with the frogs.

dry forest sprites, flowing creek, sunset, campfire, and a late night tune. remembering the old days, in Glen Luce.

Day 4. Testing times. In & out of the CHIRP Community Health Pop-up Covid swapping clinic, Campbells Creek, October 2, 2021.

Day 3. Gold !!

Up there is a map of Bendigo underground, the gold reefs and the mines. The deepest dived down to 1400 m underground. Underneath every street and building lays probably a mineshaft.

We visited the upper levels of the central Deborah gold mine, in Golden Square. The mine operated for 15 years, from 1939 to 1954. During which miners dug 17 different levels reaching down 400 meters deep, extracting 929 kg of gold.

I still do not understand what is the use of gold and how it became so precious that such a business model could be profitable. It is a strange heritage to build upon.
