WHERE DOES THE OUTBACKOZZIEWRITER LIVE ???

I often wonder about people, where they live and what they do.
So for anyone curious about me, here is some information.

My home is in the sub-tropics of Queensland, Australia, surrounded by pineapple, mango, avocado and sugar cane plantations.
Plant life thrives, as you can see by my front garden.

Our home is known as a Queenslander. These houses are built especially for the extreme hot weather conditions. Elevated up on concrete stilts with a timber slated fence all around the bottom area, it allows air to circulate for cooling. The total underneath area is the same size as the house and used as a garage and workshop by my husband Ray.

As an animal lover I usually add them to my stories. We have three little ones who we treasure.
The three mut-keteers as we call them, Monty, Mille, and Marley enjoy the company of each other and their doggie life.

Monty can barely be seen on the far right.

We have a variety of wild animals and birds in close proximity.

And many more parrot varieties.

I do not live in the Outback, but I write about it because my husband and I toured there extensively and I developed a deep love for its unique terrain. We live close enough to the be able to visit often.

My past is that of an R.N. working in a very busy E.R.

Read my books - enjoy -  and leave a review of what you think.

The GREAT OutBack of Australia

Unless you have travelled to the Australian Outback, you have no idea of its magnitude or magnificence. Australia is the same size as the USA, yet not as populated. The orange brown interior shown on this map, is all Outback.

When hubby Ray and I returned from the U.S. to reside in tropical Queensland, the first thing Ray wished to do was travel around and see more of the country.
An animal and bird lover he ran after everything he saw.

The Emu, flightless large bird, who will chase you in return.

He had no idea of the expanse of our interior. Neither was he aware of it's dangers. Needless to say at times I was terrified when he disappeared off to explore alone.

Some of our highlights were:
Those enormous trucks called ROADTRAINS.

The colourful landscape.

                                  Unique rock formations.
                            Wild animal herds everywhere.
                                   Lonely homesteads.

I love the solitude, nature, peace, and especially the stars at night.

Acceptance ~ ~

Love is: accepting others, no matter how different they are from ourselves.

Here we have two little orphans, Joey the baby Roo and Anzac the baby wombat.
Both are in an animal refuge after losing their mothers.

They don't know they are different, all they know is that they find comfort and acceptance together.
