Being Balanda: January 2009
http://being-balanda.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
On being a non-indigenous Australian. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. The heatwave we had to have. It was the week we had been dreading. After a comfortably mild December and early January, the inevitable heat wave was finally coming our way. And it is going to be a killer. Five days straight of 40-degree heat. Perhaps it’s payment for the overdue hot days we missed so far. Plus the inexorable path of global warming. For a few cool days it seemed that all was pleasant in the world. And then there was the Ob...

Being Balanda: March 2013
http://being-balanda.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
On being a non-indigenous Australian. Tuesday, March 05, 2013. Australia Then, Apocalypse Now. The resounding success of the Sapphires. I certainly enjoyed the powerful Deborah Mailman, the enlivening Irish manager, the pumping soul music and even the inventive editing. As the writer Tony Briggs said, 'I wanted this film to be more about fun and entertainment than anything else'. Enough said? Sidesteps the moral context of the war. In terms of the narrative, the only issue at stake is the capacity to...

Being Balanda: August 2008
http://being-balanda.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
On being a non-indigenous Australian. Sunday, August 24, 2008. The third Guangzhou Triennial is just about to open with a theme 'farewell to post-colonialism'. It is interesting to see their take on this. From the introduction. It will be interesting to see if this is a departure from politics itself, towards what appears to be a large movement towards enchantment - the power of art not to change the world but to provide relief from it.

Being Balanda: July 2008
http://being-balanda.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
On being a non-indigenous Australian. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Two sides of the Pacific. Offered for exclusive tastes in Santiago is high class Australian meat cuisine. Meanwhile, Melbourne artist Peter Burke is filling Altona billboards with the real drama on the streets of this southern city. Dark clouds not on the horizon. Within the liberal classes, we have become so used to our own sense of tolerance and cosmopolitanism, we may be blind to the danger of complacent insularity from within. At Melbourne...

A society is defined not only by what it creates, but by what it refuses to destroy. A place for inspirational quotes, poems, art and photos. An emphasis on the positive. Contributions welcome. Let us a little permit Nature to take her own way; she better understands her own affairs than we. Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. Chief Seattle, 1855. Thousands of tired, ner...

On being a non-indigenous Australian. Tuesday, June 02, 2009. The mighty Murtoa stick shed. Many year ago, when I was working for Museums Australia, I wrote. About one of the wonders of Victoria, the Murtoa. I was very pleased to see recently that Leigh Hammerton has hoisted a website. In honour of this ‘found cathedral’. Let’s hope it helps gain a new life as a cultural centre of the Wimmera. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe to email updates. Enter your email address:. The mighty Murtoa stick shed.

On being a non-indigenous Australian. Friday, February 20, 2009. Help Nombeko leap over to Australia. From Pam Zeplin comes the following request:. Nombeko Rwaxa was one of the B&B hosts for the 2007 South Project Gathering in Soweto. She was an integral part of the supportive local community in Orlando, Soweto. That made this event so successful. In South Africa. This has qualified Nombeko to come to Australia and compete in the World Transplant Games. Wednesday, February 11, 2009. There are several day...
