Stroke of Luck
Opening the front door to Stroke of Luck diner, the bell jingles as Lauren shuts it behind her as she steps outside. Multiple grease stains litter Lauren’s black shirt, some more noticeable in the moonlight, the streetlamp next to the diner still broken, giving only the moon as light to lock the front door. She yawns, covering her mouth as she locks the front door to the little diner, her shoulders tense and in pain from carrying plates of food all day. She stretches her neck side to side to relieve some of the tension, but it is only temporary.

Property of a Lady
Property of a Lady I grew up surrounded by bushland not far from the beach. The water was clear and cold for 9 months of the year, and cloudy and warm as the post christmas holidays winds and waves finally swept the cold currents away, replacing it with big surf, sand filled swirling sea and water at 21 degrees that you could stay in for hours and still feel your toes. My parents had changed our life from a city to a country one. All we understood was that we could surf more easily and wetsuits were a form of everyday clothing. For them, I realise in hindsight, it was a lifeline.

Cruising is my addiction
Reaching the age of 52 might not seem like much of a milestone. but in my family, its like making it to the top of the mountain. Mum was sick for as long as I can remember, and the 3 of us, kind of had this thing in the back of our minds, that we needed to make it past 51, (the age that mum left us).

Roma, Queensland, Australia
On a straight road that seems to go on forever, is a country town of 7,011 people. While this town's size is small, the quality of people that live here makes it anything but small. The folks here who call this place home are a breed of people that are just extraordinary.

Marmal Hall
I could show you a horizon as far as the eye can see, stretching far and beyond your ability to even comprehend. I could show you the wide open skies awash with a harmony of pastel pinks, blues and purples. I could show you a lake once full and shimmering but now the home of rabbits, kangaroos, foxes and possums. I could show you my father’s crops standing thick and tall before harvest, a golden sea of wheat that would ripple in the breeze. I could show you the oasis in the middle of a desert – my mother’s garden that brings birds, bees, frogs and snakes to bask in what it has to offer. I could show you the farm I grew up on.
