Australia Day Award

Joel getting the sound right

Last week on Australia Day Robert Wilson, Karen s brother   received an award  Community Event of the year which was  for the holiday programme he ran at Elliot.

We were there for a couple of days of the programme so here are some pictures.

Karen helped with cooking and feeding, Joel was chief sound man. I was untangling cords and helping Joel get the sound going .  Joel did a great Job keeping the music going.
It was a great time .

Uluru in the morning

Uluru Sunrise

   

In the desert I saw a rock

a big one

That looked like a giant hamburger

when I was hungry last night

This morning at sunrise

it was a cathedral

with morning light

constantly revealing more

More of the wonder

etched in a sedentary monolith

which looks as Karen says,

alive

While the gathered multitude

 whisper in tongues reverently

  as Canon cameras create

a muted castanet call

to record, remember, rejoice!

Christmas dinner timelapse

A glimpse of our Christmas day dinner Joel had his camera clicking away,  Roberts house is handy so the meal was cooked there and brought down to our place. A good time was had by all.

More Christmas Time

Hi everyone,
Here are some of my Christmas time  pictures the last ones were Joels. He is teaching me to do this . I have captioned some of the photos you should get the idea of what we were doing around Christmas day.
I am enjoying a new bike and Tuiana has a new guitar we were all spoilt.
It was a very different being away from home, we had eight people around the table Christmas day we enjoyed going to the  Aboriginal church Christmas day.
You will see some new words to Jingle Bells  
Over the Christmas time there was a visit to Micky Nothing  an old man we have got to know a bit.
There was  and walk up Nobles Knob to an old Gold mine and a picnic at the Pebbles  which are really pretty big rocks.
Tuiana took us to a tree out from Mary Anne dam which was worthy of photo. It is  landscape which has a stark beauty extreme  etching of nature evident where ever you look.

My next blog   will show some of our travels with Joel as he has been with us.
I have been photographing the photographer.
God Bless
Ian and Karen Joel and Tuiana
