Photo of a red-brick single-storey building on Jetty Road in the suburb of Glenelg. It’s a bright, sunny afternoon; the sky is a clear, deep blue. The wall facing the street is painted pale pink. On the footpath a cluster of tall flowers, a dozen or so, stretch up almost to roof height. You can walk between them, as if they are a tiny forest. Their stems are white-painted steel, their petals made of stained glass. Sunlight casts multicolored flower shadows onto the pink wall and the pavement. Photo by me.

Paying homage to a favorite piece of public art.

Sunset at Glenelg beach. A broad expanse of pale sand is marked by dozens of footprint trails, intersecting and meandering towards the water. Neat parallel furrows show where the sand was raked early this morning. The setting sun casts shadows from every sandy step and ripple. Photo by me.

Paths of desire (redux).
Temporal tracks revealed by the setting sun.

View across a clean beach of pale sand on a sunny afternoon. A few people are sitting in groups, facing the water. Early this morning the sand was raked: tyre tracks and rake lines are still visible, running parallel to the waterline. In the foreground, a modest border of native scrub is broken by two pathways giving access to the beach. From these access points, footprints lead in multiple directions, recording the meandering of walkers, swimmers and other beach users. Their tracks split, cross, follow, and tangle. Tomorrow they’ll be erased. Photo by me.

Paths of desire.
Temporal tracks, overlapping.

Dining table on a hotel balcony overlooking Glenelg beach. Off to the left, out of shot, a temporary stage is set up on the beach and a couple of thousand festival goers are grooving on the well-groomed sand. On my table are a glass of sparkling wine from the Adelaide Hills region and a plate piled with crackers and a selection of Maggie Beer vintage cheeses. It’s a brilliant sunny summer afternoon. Photo by me.

Age and introversion may disqualify me from the mosh, but there are other ways to enjoy a beachy music festival. Next up: The Grogans, then Skeggs and Ocean Alley.

View across calm sea water. The sun has well and truly set and we’re gloaming for all we’re worth. A small smear of cloud lurks low in the distance; other than that, the sky is summer clear. An intense band of red, orange, gold sprawls along the horizon, fading up into blue, grey, night. Subtle pale crepuscular rays point to where the sun plunged into the water. To your right, a single white star glitters amongst the fiery remnants of the day. Photo by me.

Crepuscular sunset and the evening star (zoom to spot it amongst the glow, over on the right).

Francesca Albanese talking about the meeting being on the lands of the #Kaurna.

She talks of the interconnectedness of various struggles.

Also how unis falsely claim debate on Palestine is antisemetic.

Premiere: Kaurna/Adelaide’s Sturt Avenue raise their collective glasses in a paean to friendship with anthemic new track ‘Beer Song’. We are honoured to premiere the new track and video for 'Beer Song' from Kaurna/Adelaide folk band Sturt Avenue. It's a gentle, anthemic song delivered over delicate tendrils of guitars, with deep yearning vocals. Melody and harmonies combine to create a melancholic blush, enhanced by strings and picking banjos. There is a deeply antipodean air - elements of The Waifs, Redgum, Paul Kelly and even The Triffids thread throughout the track, with an edgy spine. Singer/songwriter Bryn Soden says of the track: The track was originally written for a short film my sister made about her winter spent shaping surfboards in the desert.

The calm sea is dark grey, pushing up against the last golden haze of sunset. In the clear, darkening sky a passenger jet flies low, heading north-west. Even higher, a bright white streak of water vapor reveals a second aircraft: this one looks seems to be heading, rocket-like, straight up to the stars. (It’s an illusion: it’s actually moving south.) Photo by me.

A university forecourt on North Terrace in Adelaide. A long rectangular pool is constructed of dark grey basalt, with a row of palm plants along its long side. In the background, a handful of people stroll across the paved courtyard towards one of the distant buildings. Trees, mostly out of view, create dappled shade and sunny patches. The pool is constantly refreshed by a series of water jets, each squirting a thin stream of water up and over into a parabolic curve, splashing into the pool. Together they form a sparkling tunnel above the pool. On the right of the photo, individual drops of water are clearly visible as they stretch and plunge through the air. Photo by me.

Splashy splashy on a warm summer afternoon.

(Ludicrously pleased with how the camera captured those individual droplets on the right.)

Sunset over a calm sea. Small waves ripple onto the sandy beach, reflecting golden-orange light from above. The water is dark grey, forming a sharply delineated horizon against the thick low mist in the distance. A few fluffy clouds drift low in an otherwise clear, pale sky. The setting sun casts crepuscular rays in yellow, gold and orange, and the undersides of the grey clouds are limned in fiery molten hues. A peaceful end to a summer afternoon in Tarndanya Adelaide on Kaurna country. Photo by me.

An Australian magpie standing amidst a patchy lawn. It has one eye cautiously watching the camera.

The konlarru, kurraka, kurpany, or Aussie magpie. Most of the year, they are playful, clever, social birds who are happy to coexist with us. Mealworms are easy snacks, but don't overdo it.

In spring, they are fiercely, dangerously protective of their nests.

fantastic news. thanks for sharing. it’s got me wondering whether our small coastal settlement could be given IPA protection. #Kaurna

The Staazi & Co window, which says “NO ANIMALS HARMED.”

A vegan beef yiros with herbed chips in a thick pita, sitting freshly unwrapped, ready to be devoured. Garlicky and delicious.

The counter and bar fridges at the Crown & Anchor. It is a perfect, old school city pub. Nothing fancy. Just authentic and inviting.

A pint of Coopers Sparkling sits on a red bar mat on the black bar. The ale is glistening and beautiful.

It is a 1 minute walk from Staazi & Co Greek Vegan to the Cranker.
Adelaide, I do believe you’re flirting.

A pint of XPA is held aloft before the sprawling concrete area between the Adelaide Airport and the carpark. I don’t know what it’s called. A plaza? Anyway, I’m there. It’s a sunny day. The trees are growing well. Cheers.

My Adelaide arrival tradition has commenced.
Great to be in my other home.

Did you know that the economic plan for the free-settlement of Adelaide was devised by a guy while he was in prison for kidnapping a 14 y.o. so he could force her to marry him for her inheritance?
Ah, capitalists.
