Nepean UBMBC walk

A very pleasant walk along the river banks in sun and later, wind, commencing at Emu Plains station--a fine building.We also passed a Japanese Saké factory (distillery?) and the classiest outside 'dunny' that I have seen.

Once again there were interesting people to talk to. Our leader, Diana, gave us some interesting insights into the aboriginal interactions with early explorers in the area and also taught us (later-in the pub!) how to compose Haiku triplets.

Brendon, pictured by a pole indicating the river flood water height  in 1867, studied at the small (but distinguished!) Sir John Cass College, where, coincidentally  I did my first chemistry degree and a lady, Kerry Stewart, the one in blue Kathmandu jacket, retired from several decades as a producer/ editor  with ABC Radio National. As a long time and  avid, ABC RN devotee myself,  it was a real pleasure to meet someone intimately involved with the programming and to thank her for her part in that very worthwhile endeavor, which has taught me so much and continues to be  a source of inspiration.

Here I profer my own  Haiku summary of our day as a  5,7,5 syllable triplet...(with apologies to Diana...I'm only a starter!) followed by one from Diana.

Interesting group

Sun kissed, wind blown, seeing all,

Meet again-who knows when?

wind-ruffled ducks
