This weekend I went down to the town of Denmark in the South West of Australia, bordering the magnificent forests and the amazing coastline.
I used my travelling suitcase to help me get about on Strickland St as the good people of Denmark delighted in all sorts of stalls and activities.
My very good friend Rachel accompanied me on my perambulations and helped me tell stories to the eager and willing people.
There were quite a few very unusual people there, is it the air, or is it the water?
I’ve collected an Australian story from the Dreamtime of the indigenous australians, the original inhabitants of this land before the Europeans came. How the Kookaburra got it’s Laugh.
