Autumn Equinox
Southern Hemisphere 🦘

Feel Me now as Mother Earth
I am your rock of strength.
Rest at this space of balance, where day and night are equal
and prepare to journey with me
into the mystic.

Happy Equinox!

Monday morning
Australian birds be like
Pump up the jam
Let’s get this party started
Make my day! 🦜

“Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love” 🕊️

“Gonna have fun in the city
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is out of sight to me
Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
I'll lose my head, tonight
I've got to get, to-night

Monday I'll have Friday on my mind”

“You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you”

“Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil”

STRAYA

My country don't share no borders
'Cos of all the waters that surround our land

Thank god for our resources
'Cos they are the sources of our wealthy land

Don't try to find the capital
Or fight the animals
You're on your own

Just drive from town to paradise
And you'll see why we call Australia home

Recently, Men at Work's singer-songwriter Colin Hay was not happy that the song ‘Down Under’ was being used by ‘March for Australia’ events to promote racism and xenophobia in Australia. So he posted this message on social media:

DOWN UNDER

"Let me say that I most strenuously disapprove of any unauthorized, unlicensed use of ‘Down Under’, for any 'March For Australia' events.
Down Under, a song I co-wrote, does not belong to those who attempt to sow xenophobia within the fabric of our great land, our great people. Down Under is ultimately a song of celebration.
It's for pluralism and inclusion; unity, not division.
Go write your own song - leave mine alone."

On 13 FEB 2008, the Australian Parliament issued a formal apology to Indigenous Australians for forced removals of Australian Indigenous children (Stolen Generations) from their families by Australian federal & state government agencies.

“To the stolen generations, I say the following: as PM of Australia, I am sorry...
I offer you this apology without qualification.
We apologise for the hurt, pain & suffering that we, the parliament, have caused you…
We apologise for the indignity, the degradation & the humiliation these laws embodied.”

~ Delivered by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd

‘Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer..

It's the rhythm of the island
And like sugarcane, so sweet
If you want to do the conga
You got to listen to the beat.’
