Them

It's not always about Us.
Sometimes it's about Them.
The rugged and buggered,
the disadvantaged and homeless,
the broken hearted and hungry
the poor and lonely.
Most of us can give something back - a wave or a smile to a stranger. Moy Sweetman went a few steps further and set up a charity  - Frangipanni Dreams - devoted to looking after the her fellow travellers in the Sunshine Coast community. 
This project has no source of funding from the government. All finances come from fundraising activities and the donations of food and goods by the local community. 
Tomorrow, the fundraising takes a different path (as surfers often do). This time it is for Moy, who needs a kidney transplant and her beautiful benefactor Tommy, who is donating one of his own kidney's to improve her quality of life. Details below.


Frangipani Dreams Giving Hope Incorporated is 
endorsed by the Australian federal government as a Deductible Gift Recipient under Subdivision 30-BA of the Income Tax Assessment Act, 1997. 





If you would like to contribute some time or money to the Sunshine Coast community, the contact details are below.

Us and Them

Was going to do a post about Pink Floyd's 7 minute wonder "Us & Them" but the Google Gods (or faux google hackers) wouldn't let me in to my own blog. This is kinda what you woulda shoulda got about 12 hours ago.

and after all
we're only ordinary men"

Equatorial Reef Shack

Most nights we would anchor 
on the calm, western side of various atolls 
where expensive holiday accommodation abounded. 
But come morning, 
we would up anchor to spend a day 
in a reef pass with views like this 
from the porthole.
The afternoon ritual consisted of
lazing on the top deck at dusk 
sore and surfed out 
in a post-session daze 
waiting for the tropical light show.
