Ross Magnay, sent a photo of a sign to Argadargada and that was the inspiration for the piece
Single cross-thingies are boring ...
Diderot: French philosopher and principal editor of an encyclopaedia that disseminated scientific knowledge.
Landerandera – a waterhole in the area.
Argadargada
(March 2007)
Abraded rocks abandoned were once utilised for grinding;
rooted deep in ancient times now lie around for finding.
Gasps from heat distracting him, yes give a clear reminding.
Assieged by vast expanse of red, but somehow it protects you.
Diderot could not conceive how desert's spell affects you.
Aborted wreck; memorial – stark, of he who disrespects You.
Ramulose she-oaks cling to a wisp of wind and quiver -
guaranteed to hold spellbound. Look, rain it's Her life giver.
Abient animations may be seen for just a sliver
Dined beside the car near Landerandera left him sighing
(assisting foolish folk who almost copped the desert's frying).
