I was out walking my dogs just after the rain a few days ago and I discovered the joy and the pain of walking with my dogs. Now, my wife and I own some big dogs and every day I collect the dogs and head off into the fields around Bundaberg and just lose myself in the...

Last month I was stricken down with the most horrible of diseases that has affected the human race. I am not talking about Covid, I am not talking about heart or kidney conditions, I am not talking about cancers or bone degeneration – I am talking about “MAN...
