Some linky love letter for my city

In a bit more than a month, we'll be flying to Oz to visit our Home. I hope it still feels like Home when we get there.

There's been a few articles in the Home newspaper that I read that I thought I would share with you.

Catherine Deveny's Things that say 'Melbourne' (even more than a big M)

and a piece on a new endangered species, keeping the bush natural, and we ain't talking trees and shrubs here....

A love-letter to the Yarra River (apparently its proper name is Birrarung.) Oh I look forward to seeing you, beautiful placid river. People might dak on you and call you horrid names but you are beautiful.

Of course I am looking forward to seeing family and friends and cats and the garden etc etc etc but I am also tied to the place itself. It is a part of me.

(Pics around the Melbourne CBD in 2006, when I last worked there. River pics show the Yarra in all her beauty)
