About me

User: anneinchaosland
Name: Anne
Originally this blog was about my student exchange to Montreal and North America (and later, south and cental america). This was the 'chaos land' of the title. However, once overseas I soon realised that Australia (and especially Sydney) was the real chaos land, -I would monitor Australian news with increasing feelings of trepidation, in reaction to all the huge and worrying political changes Australia is going through, eg industrial relations laws. So this blog is dedicated to trying to understand the chaos of this world, to find its beauty, and to direct its energy to something good and life affirming.

I revived an old hobby last night. I got my hands all muddy with potting plants, and planting vegetables in the front garden. Apparently the water restrictions prohibit watering on other nights so I was lucky. I planted and separated alpine strawberries, lettuce, a passionfruit vine and rosemary. (My sister Claire and I travelled a long way in the arvo to get to the nursery). And today, I caught a train nice and early at 630 am to Newcastle, where I started my honours research into the closure of the BHP steelworks in 1998. what fun!!

oh and another thing- Paul Spencer has a magnificent song about student politics and its machinations here.
