HOTEL INDIGO ~ ADELAIDE, South Australia

Image
Hello, It has been a long time indeed since we've ROAMED properly.  This post, due to zero access to foreign travelling for fun, emotional or spiritual growth or curiosity, is basically for Australians! I truly get sick and tired - ANGRY and BEFUDDLED - at ignorant people who continue to state 'Adelaide is boring'.  If you think/believe Adelaide is boring...you BEST look in the mirror because it is quite evident:  YOU ARE BORING.  That's it in a nutshell. Tinto and I roamed into our beloved city in the middle of week, the 7th of April, for our 20th wedding anniversary.  We weren't looking for anything decadent...we simply wanted something away from our country abode where we've been working so frantically for the past few months. An interesting announcement popped up on my phone a few months back and it continued to do so.  As annoying as I find these pop-up advertisements, admittedly, when/if there is a story involved I'm interested in, I take the time to ...

Sculptures at Aileron Roadhouse in the Northern Territory

Could not wait to share these pics with you.  THIS WAS ANOTHER VERY SPECIAL SPOT and I felt privileged to be there.  Tinto and I did not know anything about the sculptures, but I began digging and did a little research.  MIND-BOGGLING - MAGNIFICENT.  LARGER (in life) THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE!   Ted Egan calls himself a 'Bush man'.  He was born in Melbourne, but moved to the Northern Territory at age 16 and fell in love with the place.  Ted is a song-writer, singer, and has made 13 one hour documentary films titled 'This Land Australia'.  His son, Mark Egan, is the sculptor of these figures featured below and took the love his father had of the Northern Territory a step further by creating and sculpting these monumental figures representing Australia's First Peoples.  I was in awe. Tinto and I could not believe we had not been told about this spot before our trip!   Located on the Stuart Highway, north (135 kilometres) of Alice Springs...

Constance Gordon-Johnson 29.07.50 - 21.01.00

Image
Constance Gordon-Johnson, my sister and my only sibling, was a force to be reckoned with...from a VERY early age. Constance was hugely talented and winning art awards from the age of 12.  Plus, Constance was academically brilliant and was able to skip the 11th grade all together in high school. So, yes, it WAS very difficult living in her shadow, but as intimidating as she could be, I was always her secret admirer. Constance pushed everyone in her sphere to be a better person - a more intelligent person and she taught all around her to care about the environment, but...most importantly to take care of and protect every sort of animal that inhabits the earth.  In Constance's world animals were far more important than humans.  Constance was that kind of gal.  My Mom had a very old newspaper clipping from The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, Tennessee) that shows Constance with a pair of pliers getting a fish hook out of a duck's bill.  She was successful yet...
