somethings are bigger than the sum of us

I have been involved in the relay for life. I sang at the candlelight ceremony, and I played games with the walkers, trying to get a theme song for all the teams. I had fun.
the relay for life is a charity event that is raising money for a cure for cancer.

dragged screaming to paradise

the moments that make it a life

Banggerreng

marks the transition from the wet season to the dry season. The high water levels on the plains and in the rivers drop making it a good time for fishing. It is marked by periods of strong winds, dark storm clouds and heavy storms, as well as high temperatures and high humidity.

Gurrung

is the hot build up season, when both temperature and humidity increases. Both days and nights are hot and relief from the rain will not arrive until the rains begin.

Gunumeleng

heat and humidity continues, but it is also the time of the first rains. There are spectacular electrical storms with lightning flashing across the sky.

Wurrgeng

cool nights have finished but the days are still pleasant. The burning off commences for both clearing and hunting.

Yegge

is the cold weather time.The winds are from the south east and bring the cold air from the southern winter, there are clear blue skies and only very occasional showers mostly in costal areas.

Gudjeuk

the monsoon season. It just rains and rains and rains. The wind and the weather come from the north west and there are periods of grey clouds overcast skies and cooler temperatures. This provides great relief after the months of heat and humidity of the build up of the previous month Kurrung

Energy

the flow of energy....
