Posted on November 22, 2022 by Tony Peters

I’m not a poet and I’ve never been that interested in poetry.  I also have to admit that, when I stopped and thought about it, only one poets name came to mind, and he’s very well known to Australians.  The … Continue reading →

Posted on April 7, 2022 by Tony Peters

On my walk the other morning, it was a beautiful, clear and still start to the day. The sun was up enough to bring light and warmth to everything it touched. I walk across a short bridge over an inlet. … Continue reading →

2019 Glen Garvald (by Levantine Hill) Shiraz Marsanne

Posted on June 10, 2021 by Tony Peters
