From the Sydney years

In 1998 - 2000 I was in Sydney working as CEO of Family Life-Interrelate. For almost a year Beth and I lived apart, by necessity not choice. Beth had to first see out the year at Quorn and sell our house there, then work on in Adelaide at East Adelaide School for two terms while supporting her mother Mum/Nan/Little Nan Norris.
In May 1999 I attended a "Progoff" Journal Writing workshop where I wrote the following reflection. Considerably later I teamed it with a sunset shot of the Algebuckina waterhole, south of Oodnadatta, while taking my sisters Ruth Natar and Joan Harslett to a "Bringing Them Home" Oodnadatta Mission Children's Home reunion there in August 2008. The senior person on that trip was the late Mona (Ngitji Ngitji) Tur (formerly Kenedy) - who was a poet.
