Leaving The Border Watch
There may be some interest in the fact I have left The Border Watch. This will be my only public statement.
When you hold a senior position in an organisation you learn to ride the bumps and take the rough with the smooth.
If you’re unhappy in a job you either put up with it, change the things that make you unhappy or leave.
I couldn’t change the things that were making me unhappy, so I chose to leave. I reflected on this while on holiday in January, and handed in my notice the day I returned to work.
The Border Watch is a very good newspaper with a proud history. It will be 150 years old next year.

Blue Lake on a calm day
The Blue Lake was looking particularly beautiful today. Conditions were perfectly still, which magnified the reflection, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.
Doctor’s appointment
Juliet wants to see a doctor. She rang our clinic today (December 10) for an appointment and the earliest she could get in was February 17.
Telford Scrub
Telford Scrub Conservation Park is 175ha just 15km north of Mount Gambier off Riddoch Highway towards Penola. (more…)
November heat wave
Slightly cooler today, just 30 degrees, but the nights are more pleasant. Much better in Mount Gambier than elsewhere in South Australia.
Typical spring
The next two days promise a typical spring forecast for Mount Gambier: Monday 32 degrees, Tuesday 17.
Roundabouts
Give way to the right at roundabouts? In Mount Gambier, truck drivers give way to nobody and elderly drivers give way to everybody. It’s chaos!
