Sport and weather fill the news
Down Under: European views
Rarely make Breakfast T.V.
Hermetic lifestyle – I’m at sea!
Boxing Day – mad shopping spree
Cricket crowds at MCG*
A fatal shark attack – teen dies
All this under blue, blue skies.
With jetlag trauma in the past
These summer days have chilly blast
Friends drop by with homemade treats;
I take a walk down leaf-strewn streets.
I stroll alone as cars whizz by
Threat of rain, though it stays dry
Of scorching sun there is no trace
‘Fire Season’ signs seem out of place.
Australia - country of extremes
For early settlers – land of dreams
Where suburbia spreads to barren waste
And life is lived at slower pace...
