Looking at the news surrounding asylum seekers it is heart wrenching to see so much desperation across the globe. What is more heart wrenching are the levels of ignorance and intolerance. Perth will be remembered for the beautiful King’s Park and the birdsong! Or rather birdscream – very loud screeching like cockatoos! Couldn’t quite catch a glimpse of any of them, but they were all over the city all right! So now it is off to Melbourne – a week of rest with friends AND writing a bloody assignment!
