look should you be so inclined here's a #koala corridor petition up in #appin https://tec.good.do/savemallatycreek/ 
Join me in supporting the Save the vital Mallaty Creek Koala Corridor Campaign

Mallaty Creek is currently a connected, intact, and active East West Koala Corridor in Campbelltown but the government plans to terminate it. An additional over/underpass across Appin Road at Mallaty Creek would also vastly improve outcomes for koalas and be closer to best practice advice for the distance between underpasses. Sign the Petition to tell the NSW Minister for Environment directly to save Mallaty Creek now!

The Red Book of Appin - Appin of Yesteryear - Appin, Argyll, Scotland

Poem about the Red Book of Appin IT’S a far, far cry to Appin, But worth your while to go If ye would learn the secrets That Highland witches know: They’re written in a red book Concealed within a rock; Its iron bands keep reiving hands From meddling wi’ the lock. There still are folk

Flickr doesn't seem to be cooperating this morning.

So; have this photo of Castle Stalker taken yesterday, as I drove to the Quaker Meeting, in the village hall, Port Appin.
