Australian Bush Poetry & Art
Evolutionary Behavior of Plants
In a realm where seasons dance and time flows like a river, A resilient community of plants thrives, ever clever. Through spring's tender embrace and summer's golden light, Autumn's whispered secrets and winter's frosty night.

Evolutionary Behavior of Plants
In a realm where seasons dance and time flows like a river, A resilient community of plants thrives, ever clever. Through spring's tender embrace and summer's golden light, Autumn's whispered secrets and winter's frosty night.
They grow in harmony, yet compete for space, Each seeking light, nutrients, a cherished place. Some bloom in spring, a fleeting, vibrant show, Others in summer's warmth, where wildflowers glow.
Autumn brings its own, with leaves of fiery hue, Winter's hardy souls endure the cold and dew. Some live but a season, their purpose clear and bright, Others witness generations, standing tall in the night.
In this vibrant ecosystem, life weaves its intricate thread, Landscape functions flourish, where nature's wisdom is spread. Through ice ages and beyond, their legacy they weave, Passing on their genes, in the soil they believe.
A dance of life and death, of competition and grace, In this resilient community, they find their place. Landscape functions sustain, in harmony they grow, An ecosystem's tale, where life's rhythms flow.
Animals play their part, in this ancient ballet, Migrating herds shape plants, in their evolutionary sway. For aeons, a billion years, their paths intertwined, Plants evolved with beasts, in a dance so refined.
From grazing lands to forests deep, their influence profound, Plants adapt and thrive, where animal footsteps resound. Together they journey, through time's endless span, A symbiotic dance, in nature's grand plan.
I hope this piece helps us to appreciate and to beautifully captures the interconnectedness of plants and animals over the ages! 🌿🦌✨
Cheers

Stepping Stone
A Poetic version attempt of Stepping Stone (by Ray who is far away from being poetic)

A Poetic version attempt of Stepping Stone (by Ray who is far away from being poetic)
A Stepping Stone is a humble yet profound catalyst, a quiet enabler of dreams. It is the gentle lift beneath your feet, guiding you across the river of ambition. Each stone, though seemingly small, is a beacon of progress, a whisper of potential. It is the bridge between the now and the not yet, the promise of tomorrow cradled in the present. With each step, you ascend closer to the horizon of your aspirations, where the sky meets the earth in a dance of fulfillment. Stepping Stone

Landscape Art.
Landscape art can help communities tell a story of their vision for their landscape, how would like their landscape to be in the future or or state like it to be conserved
Landscape painting, the depiction of natural scenery in art. Landscape paintings may capture mountains, valleys, bodies of water, fields, forests, and coasts and may or may not include man-made structures as well as people.
There’s something special about landscape paintings; they somehow provide us with an emotional experience that is different to other subject matter. Why is this? And what is it about the landscape that has some kind of almost-otherworldly hold on us? Why is this subject matter so powerful that it continues to attract artists and viewers regardless of age, race, gender and nationality?
The Definition ‘Landscape art’
is the depiction of natural landscape usually with a focus on mountains, trees, rivers, forests, valleys, coastline and other scenic areas. Often, it does not contain a humanistic element, which is why it is so interesting that it has such an effect on us as the viewer; having said that, there are many depictions that do show boats, ruined castles, bridges
Aboriginal Art tells stories to pass on knowledge.
Koori Ecography: Habitat mapping and modelling traditional aboriginal style.
Haikai Tane. Origins of Natural Sequence Farming
In the early 1990’s during one of our stream walks together, Peter Andrews described to me how he was raised “out back” with aboriginal mates. Through these experiences he learnt to “see” the streams and rivers through the cultural eyes of Kooris. His perceptions and understandings of waterholes, streams and rivers were not those of the colonial English, rather they were those of indigenous aborigines. When I showed Peter a typical graphic representation of floodplains by traditional aborigines complete with an explanatory legend (Tane & Nanninga 1992), he was clearly delighted. After studying the picture he confirmed that it contained the key elements of his understanding of floodplains (Figure 3). The Koori cultural connection proved an important step in resolving the final audit and report for the Bankers Trust Syndicate NFS research and development project undertaken on Tarwyn Park – Peter Andrews’ family farm at Upper Bylong (Tane 1999).

History Of Australian Landscape Painting The history of Australian landscape painting is a fascinating journey through culture, symbology and the ever-changing relationship between people and land. We will follow the winding track from Aboriginal art, to the Australian Impressionists and Surrealists, to artists who pioneered a new way of seeing the bush – and finally we'll take a look at contemporary Australian landscape painters.
Mood & Emotion
Landscape paintings often construe a certain mood or emotion – they are incredible tools for creating . For example, when viewing a painting with a sunset, you often feel that warming feeling and a sense of wonder: why? Well, the fact is we have all experienced that moment in reality, which is why we have such a strong emotional connection to landscape art – we can all understand it.
Powerful Subject Matter
The landscape is a powerful subject matter which can embody a wide spectrum of emotions, however it is also used a purely decorative genre where artists can display their skills. Landscape art can also be all about capturing a beautiful moment and documenting natural events that others may never get to see – especially when it comes to photography. We can all access the external environment, which is one of the reasons why it is one of the most accessible and universal forms of art.
The weather is a huge factor
as well; for example, moody atmospheres with a rough sea will create a dark, dramatic and frantic atmosphere. As humans the weather affects our lives daily so it certainly has an intense effect on our mood or emotions.
