Old Hume bypass
a wild apple tree
covered in blossom
Marietta McGregor
willows weeping
into emptiness
Narira Creek
Pauline O’Carolan
silt
where the river ran
bones bleaching
Gavin Austin
home plains drought
dust storms carry away
father’s farm
Marilyn Humbert
rear paddocks
etched with empty rills
. . . searing sun
Samantha Sirimanne Hyde
rural dawn
every long shadow
ends at a cow
Jan Dobb
