Here in Queensland (Australia) we are going through the trials of a State election. Queensland is a state full of natural resources, above and below ground. We have both coal and sunshine to burn. We also have some of the finest areas where nature gets to show off her finery – the Daintree Rainforest, the Great Barrier reef, and Carnarvon Gorge to name but three.

Okay, so I decided today to sit down and write about sustainability. Three hours later I have moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress, redesigned the page several times, linked to my Twitter and Facebook pages and posted some old photos up.

At least now, when I do sit down to spin out my ramblings, you will get a nicer website to read them from.

I hope you enjoy. You can get to the photo galleries from the link at the top of the page. The first on is from Berlin and The Netherlands which you can also find here.

But now, boo is no more scarier than a peacock feather thrust into an armpit.

So, diddly bop over to http://itmademesmile.varleyconnell.net and have a read at things that have made me and others smile. Add one yourself 🙂
