A recent Facebook message got me dreaming about life without a job. It wasn't a pretty picture. I didn't like it one bit. That dream, even through the vertigo haze, reminded me that I still have the power to think, reason, create, and succeed. I also have the fortitude to tackle things most people would...

We were in Balhannah a few nights back at a family property. Whilst 4WDing around the property to see new-born lambs, I asked to get out of the car so I could capture this amazing view on the horizon.
