Chase

Photo of an upward hill road in Launceston, Tasmania — Imagine walking up three hills like this to get home every day.

Life’s uphill battle:
moving only by inches,
racing to find peace.

Treasure

A full rack of clothes in an op-shop. — My favourite op-shop in Canberra: Green Shed

Lifetime of stories,
tucked away in every fold,
op-shop memories.

Scenery

Photo of a lush green valley with some fern trees in neat rows. — Grindelwald Village resort, Tasmania

Velvety green cake,
plump, piping ferns for toppings—
too nice to disturb.

Together as one

A photo of a tree in autumn, with green, red, and shades of yellow leaves. — Canberra’s autumn

Green, yellow, and red—
beauty in coexistence,
nature represents.

What was once

Scenic view of Grindelwald Village holiday resort with some swamp hens around a water body and brick lodges in the distance. — Grindelwald Village holiday resort, Tasmania

Grass, wrens, and swamp hens,
highlight of tourist brochures—
a stolen village.
