Today I visited a great art exhibition called “Under the Sun” at the Mount Tomah Botanical Gardens. The art was by Joseph Saad and Scott Cardamatis and was made primarily by sticking seed pods to a piece of wood. As simple as this seems, the results are stunning. Check out the photos I took of [...]
There are times when you wonder why you work for the public service and then there are times when you say “Yes, this is what it is all about, this is democracy in action.”
Such a time happened the other day when this email arrived on my desk. It had gone from the Premier to the [...]
Well, Movember is almost finished for another year and to date I have raised $635 for the mens health charities Beyond Blue and The Australian Prostate Foundation.

I’m feeling fitter stronger and don’t [...]
Only five days to go before my Movember look is gone (for at least another year).
My donations are currently sitting at $455 and it would be nice to break the $500 mark and do better than last year.
Donations can still be made at http://au.movember.com/mospace/138571/

My donations are currently sitting at $405 and it would be nice to break the $500 [...]
It’s not too often you are on the spot when news happens, but it happened today.
I was standing in Liverpool Street waiting for a bus when what looked like brown dust started spewing up of a grate in the roadway. There was a low rumbling sound then the brown dust started coming out of another [...]
My mother now has a lookout named after her. Some years ago I placed a memorial plaque to my mother at a beautiful place on the Newnes Plateau. The lookout there has now been named after her. It is in a proposed extension to the Gardens of Stone National Park.
The photo and blurb about the [...]
Musical instruments bring such joy to so many and so when one dies it seems fitting to see it off with some ceremony. When humans die they are either buried or cremated and the same should happen with musical instruments.
When the piano at the farm died, it was going to be a hassle to get [...]
This email was recently sent around at work by the CEO.
Rubber snakes on Level 16
Large black birds (apparently either crows or currawongs) have been taking the white decorative pebbles from the garden beds on Level 16 and dropping them over the edge of the building, trying to break them open.
