January 2019 Previously published March 2018- This beautiful part of Australia is on fire at this very moment. Horrendous hot fires nothing like anything before. If we don’t act now on the Climate Emergency so much of the nature we love will be lost

The still winds
The warm last days of summer
Moving into Autumn
Called me to the Mountains
The Snowy Mountains
Natures call
The primal call to be in the wild
In an ancient land
A land of Snowgums and Stringybarks
Sacred to the indigenous people of the land
The land of the Man From Snowy River
A land of
Spirits
Ghosts and
Legends

The Snowy’s catching the clouds and sending water in creeks and rivers into the plains below
Little creeks and springs

That flow over waterfalls
feed into the big rivers that water the plains


Water
For cattle
For the native animals

In the bare
Wild nature
The sky smiling
As angels travel
In the beauty of nature
Simple
Free
Alive
In the Snowy Mountains
As summer ends
