Scent of the Past
I had an unexpected pleasure this morning as I walked to catch a ferry to work. I was making my way down a rather unremarkable street, when, all of a sudden, I smelled some flower or bush. I don't really know what it was (perhaps it was a wattle), but right then an image from 32 years ago came to mind. I had not experienced that scent since I walked along the Wollundry lagoon in Wagga Wagga to school. The connections between memory and smell are absolutely wonderful.

I'm starting to think that the best thing about Australia is location names, with most of the best ones (I assume) originating from the aborigenes. They just feel organic and Australian.
Greetings, Eric!
