Journal Entry 1 by Skyring from Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Thursday, August 7, 2003
Picked this one up in the Quiet Room at YHA Queensberry Hill yesterday. Looks like a good meaty read, but I've got a mountain of books to be read and if I waited for it to go down - Ha! - it would be a long while before this got out in the wild, so I'll release it on Saturday.

On reading the first few pages, I notice that someone, presumably a student, has penned a short but pungent criticism of Jesuits and catholicism on the title and half-title.

Journal Entry 2 by Skyring at Anzac Park in Reid, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Friday, August 8, 2003
Released on Friday, August 08, 2003 at Anzac Park gatehouse seat, St Johns, Reid in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory Australia.

From the title I thought a religious release might be appropriate, which is why I've chosen the entrance arch to the churchyard of St John the Baptist in Reid. A delightful location in a quiet street just off busy Constitution Avenue and Anzac Parade, but there is a roof and benches between stone walls and one could sit in serenity to read the whole of this big book.

The church itself is old stone, dating from the days when Canberra was still Canberry, named after some forgotten English village like so many others around the British Empire. A British Governor-General sleeps here in the quiet graveyard, but the wholly Australian Sir Robert Garran also lies here, one of my heroes in the struggle for Federation, the new nation's premier public servant and a man of extraordinary talent and vision.
