AUSTRALIA VOTES - OCCUPY POLLING BOOTHS - MAKE A BOAT

DO NOT PASS GO.
DO NOT COLLECT $200.


Australia goes to the polling booth this Saturday September 7.

The election is in the football finals season - typical of the patronising attititudes of the 230 politicians in Canberra.

They want you to take your mind off the real issues confronting Australia. To them, the running of Australia is little more than an elite football match - without the human growth hormone.. Gladiators will take your mind off the long-term decline of a once-lucky country.


Australia,  VOTE  FOR  YOURSELF.   Don't put your name to the three-yearly talkfest and media circus that culminates in the Federal Election.

EMPOWER YOURSELF  -  BY VOTING FOR NOBOODY.  ALL PROTEST VOTES ARE LOGGED AND COUNTED.

One great idea of Mamamia magazine is to use origami - folding paper - to create a boat out of your 2 ballot papers.

LET'S  DO  IT.

      MAKE  A  BOAT  OR  AN  AEROPLANE

 

Great Ocean Road visits Kannan

   This  will  astound  you...        (Remember ;Born  Free'?)

i have just loaded my first ever video. i've tried and tried. i don't have a mobile telephone/digital camera as all funky people do. This movie is from Kannan whom i knew from yesteryear as a potter.

Kannan, born in Kerala, contacted Urban Seed to re-find me. i 'lost' him again (i have never forgotten he told me his large family farm had rice, coconut, jackfruit as well as many labourers. My mouth watered whenever i thought of his farm. Once, the young Kannan (Subramanion?) had a major cut to his arm. His Mum told the others to gather cow pats ("had to be warm"). Kannan's Mum bandaged the arm and over time God healed it - without a scar!!!

We email each other but have yet to meet face-to-face...
(i  hope  Kannan  is  still  a  creative  spirit.)

The panoramic Great Ocean Road starts at Anglesea and ends, i think, at the Twelve Apostles at Port Campbell. This is the Victorian Tourism website for the region:  www.visitvictoria.com/Regions/Great-Ocean-Road/Destinations.aspx 

i caught the train earlier this year to beautiful Portland which is further west and Victoria' first settlement (1834). i walked (i hate cars) to see the wind farms up close and personal - my first encounter with the controversial  TRIFFIDS.

Looking up "Kannan" on youtube (via blogger) led me to an amazingly silly Indian romantic dance, which appears below also. We need a lot more insanity to cope with an ultra-sane standardised world!!
