Polkadots and Moonbeams – Part I
Polkadots and Moonbeams. A young woman descends the stairway to the beach as the sun sets and the moon rises. Looking on is a Ladybug. A fiction short story.
Whale Tales: Barnacle’s Kelp Karmacoma
Last year’s Humpback Whale southern migration winner, Barnacle, actually there are no ‘winners’ because there’s no prizes. But in this day and age of supporting everyone as a winner, we’re going against the grain and calling him a winner anyway. Well, because he was first.

Comfort Buried Deep Under the Fear of Breathlessness
The Fear of Breathlessness.
Rising tension in the chest, the mind tightening, the clam up of the body, the building resistance to all that is physically present in front of our eyes and the mental swirls that seem to magnify the stress of the moment.

Swim Wild Into the Eternal Gardens: Exploring the Bass Strait Coast
The eternal gardens of the Great Southern Reef coastal shelves, nooks, hidden bays and exposed beaches of Bass Strait are an escape worthy of King Neptune’s proclamation. Sunny Spring days in September in the cool waters of the Mornington Peninsula backbeaches when the swell is low and the wind favourable are like nowhere else on Earth.
The Joy of Nothingness: A Murky Coast Swim
Not every day is clear, calm and safe to swim in the water where the waters of Bass Strait meet the coastline of the Mornington Peninsula. Sometimes it’s about the joy of the nothingness. The no way. The no doing. Non-being.
