What is that warm, soothing, distant sound, like an echo of the sea?

Yes, I do remember it still; the soft sibilance of long-gone years; the chatter-cackle of kids, the rustle-rattle of wind in trees.

I remember, the shift-shuffle-smudged colours of years like wind-driven clouds of time scurrying by.

Stream's giggle-trickle-tumble on river rocks, chubby children's toes in cold, clear water.

I hear them still... as time compacts those long summer days into distant....

whispers.

Operation Crayweed

Crayweeds are a type of seaweed in Sydney harbour and surrounds that are like ecological foundations in our marine environment. If you take that away, everything else goes. If you bring that back, then everything else comes back with it. That is the goal of operation Crayweed.
