Went on a picnic by the Queensland University lake in honour of Duncan's 50th birthday. The correllas roosted in the trees
promptly at noon took to flight for their daily exercise and foraging
some like Icarus flying perilously close to the sun
before returning home
The dusky moorhen trod carefully over the grass
went for a gentle narcissistic paddle
had a bite to eat
The indolent ducks just sat around
The eastern water dragon enjoyed the picnic and climbed up Duncan's leg and arm to snatch a sandwich out of his hand
Went to a concert in Mayne Hall featuring the organ with its trompettes en chamade and principal pipes in gleaming combinations of lead, copper, antimony and tin.
