MonoStuth x Koala

Jacob Stuth

and a collection of wood

under a tree

Noosa National Park

on his birthday

while a koala

stretches a claw

50 yards away

Happy birthday

and thanks for the yarn

The Church on Sunday

"Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty

Sound of their breath fades with the light

I think about the loveless fascination

Under the milky way tonight

Lower the curtain down in Memphis

Lower the curtain down alright

I got no time for private consultation

Under the milky way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for

Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar

Something shimmering and white

It leads you here despite your destination

Under the milky Way tonight" ***

Surf Check

Bad Graff

On the very rare occasions that Noosa gets waves, there's a bunch of old gum trees

that you can use to mark your position in the crowded lineup

as the sweep endeavours to shove you away -

past First Point and down towards the Rivermouth.

The gum trees provide shade in our hot summers and a place to hang out

 for goannas, koalas and pink and grey galahs.

Back in the day you could actually park under them as in this Kodachrome from around 1987.

So why would somebody want to spray paint another living thing?????
