Robert's Ramblings

How strange to imagine no travel beyond the natural borders of your town, state, country or continent.

Once travel was some exotic thing others did. Then I did too and soon forgot the extraordinary privilege and responsibility that travel is and demands.

Perhaps when borders open up again we we be humbled by the opportunity and take on the responsibility that comes with travel near and far.

Growing up in a country town far from the ocean pelicans were exotic and beautiful birds that belonged to far away places and movies like ‘Storm Boy’.

Now I delight in finding them live where ever they please, even alongside busy suburban transport routes.

I see many tens of pelicans a week now on the days that I have to travel to work but they will always be exotic and beautiful and I will never tire of them.
