Hi Colin,

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, here I am in sunny summer-time Perth, where the other day I saw 44C on the car's thermometer.

The Noongar Aboriginal people of the Swan River coastal plains have a mythical Dreamtime snake-like creature they call the Wagyl or Rainbow Serpent. It is responsible for creating the land and water formations of the region.

The cloudless night sky here is far clearer than anything I've seen in the northern hemisphere; the Milky Way is always spread across the sky, and even more clearly in the bush.

The forest is probably the great Karri and Jarrah forests of the south-west of WA, some parts of which are truly awesome.

All the best,

Chris

I believe you are in Perth down under Chris.

I was just reading a travel article about Australia in which the journalist took in the vast extent of the Milky Way whilst visiting Uluru. He said the 'Aboriginal Yolngu people believe it's a gigantic river, and that when they die, they are taken there by a mystical canoe.'

Nice to read your piece after coming across that, wherever your forest might be. Thanks for posting. Colin.
