Fortnight Lily (A Poem)

Fortnight Lily by Mumma Sue   Six white petals, Folded sides, Vessel-like, Curled at the tip. Painted golden splashes, Almost dotted, On every second one, Like a bath’s non-slip mat. On the other three, Fine short strokes, Of rusty brown, Close to the centre. Shades of purple, Soft in colour, …

Little Wren (Poem)

Sitting on a fence post, dainty as a fairy. Long tail high in the air, flitting this way and that. Always alert, at the ready, trusting in the wing. Admirers watch from afar, listening to your chirpy ‘tsst’ and chit. Wondering how your spindly legs, support your puffball body. Your …

Soul Soothing Sunday – Hickey Falls

A few weeks ago my family invited me on a car trip with them for a Soul Soothing Sunday outing. Destination – Hickey Falls, between Gilgandra and Coonabarabran, in Central West, New South Wales.

Here are a few snaps from the visit. There is a walking track that takes you to the tops of the rocks and around where the waterfall is flowing over the edge.

A word of warning – there are no toilet facilities on site. Rest Stops with Toilets are a few kilometres away.

We had a lovely time exploring before having afternoon tea and heading for home.
