Golden Wattle Stories, Dreams, and Poems

Just across the road from me  Was a huge beautiful Japanese garden  It was a beautiful day  So I put on my shoes  And walked out the door and across the road  A big Japanese style wall was surrounding the garden  And I walked through the entrance gate  Along a path lined with towering bamboo  And in the bamboo trees, wooden wind chimes were hung, which made a beautiful musical knocking sound as they swayed with the bamboo trees  I walked for a few minutes  Then a big garden opened up to me  With a lake in the middle  And with areas of soft green lawn and Japanese bushes around the edges  I kept walking around the edge of the lake along the path  And saw lots of pretty pink and yellow flowers covering the bushes  Soon I came to a beautiful rocky waterfall  With Stepping stones across it  And there was some big rocks around the edge of the waterfall  So I sat down and just watched and listened to the...

I was so excited  I'd never been to Hervey Bay before  On the way there  Finally we passed the usual route I am so familiar with to the sunshine coast  And such a beautiful landscape opened up to me  The highway became narrower  It was such a beautiful day  And the landscape of bright green lush hills and mountains and trees was so beautiful  I'll never forget the beauty of the landscapes on the way to Hervey Bay  We stopped at a rest stop halfway on the way  And there was a giant cartoonish kangaroo statue  I had chicken and salad rice paper rolls with mint which I'd never had before  The rest stop was so busy and crowded On the rest of the way to Hervey Bay  We went past so many hills and tree covered landscapes of different types of trees  I remember the trees were just short bushes in one area  We went through a tiny little town  And then Maryborough  Driving through the old town Maryborough  I...

Last night I dreamed I was living at my old house and there were 3 chickens that were lost and kept going to the park next door. I tried to feed them some bird seed but they kept disappearing and I even saw their owners drive their car into the park looking for them.  I also dreamed I saw 2 or 3 wild rats near my old bird aviary except their fur colouring was like pet rats. They were so cute and friendly and I was so close to them.  I also dreamed I went on a holiday to this beautiful spot by the beach.  I thought maybe one reason I keep dreaming of chickens is that I saw 3 pet chickens in a neighbours yard behind my house that are so cute and adorable.  The chickens escaping may have been about a "loss of control" which seems to be a common dream theme for me.  The chickens from my neighbours house may also want to visit me and comfort me so are coming into my dreams.  I thought I dreamed of the rats as they had come to comfort me in my dream about some he...

Last night I dreamed that I was a contestant in Eurovision although it was a bad dream because since I'm really shy and introverted it was a terrible situation I was stuck in and I was feeling too nervous to continue further in the competition.  I also dreamed I was with my friend Nelly and she was telling me she was a musician and showing me all these unique instruments she plays including a little wooden slab that had all these knobs and buttons on it to create beautiful sounds. 

Last night I dreamed I was a child again in primary school but it was a positive experience. I remember I was doing a maths lesson. I remember going to my friend Nelly's house and seeing her dad.  I also dreamed of a game of soccer between people and chickens, I might have been at school as well. The chickens were just as good at soccer as the people and the ball got kicked into the goal which was an electronic whiteboard that registered a hit electronically as a score. 

Last night I had so many dreams. I was in a huge building complex and kept spotting one direction and harry styles and would say hi to harry styles. At one place where I was outside I saw one direction practicing dancing and I accidentally got in their way one time and hurried out of their way. I also saw a group of magpies playing in the grass and a pond. In that big building I also went to a Taylor Swift show which seemed like a movie in a movie theatre. She knew I was there in the back row and was calling out my name and trying to embarrass me. I was so afraid and embarassed.  Later I was talking to friends about harry styles and said I'd like to be closer to him and friends with him but then maybe not because what if he isn't as nice as he seems and is mean to me.  I also remember being with Harry Styles Mum. She was driving the car me and some friends were in and said she was taking us to church. And she took us to my old childhood church. But I had a little dog in the ca...

Last night I dreamed I was in a big car crash with several cars.  I also dreamed I was near harry styles he was serving dinner to people waiting in a line. I said to my friend I should help him. I also dreamed about my housemates and their cats, the cats were escaping and I was afraid of them escaping.  I was also driving around and travelling in my dream.

Last night I dreamed I was creating art or being encouraged to create art. I was going to do this big artwork of a rainforest. I also had this huge package of art supplies as well as a self help package on how to be successful with your art. 

Last night I dreamed there was a retreat in the countryside I went to stay at. A butcher bird was there and he flew down then got bitten by a cat. I went and picked up the butcher bird and he was happy with me just cuddling him. Then he flew away into a tree. I saw he was building a nest with his partner.  Later on in the dream I saw butcher birds in a building out the back were taking over the building and building a school or something. I found out butcher birds were just as intelligent as people or more intelligent. They were maybe turning into people as well. 

Last night I dreamed of war, also fireworks. Also I dreamed I was in the U.S and being instructed by some Americans to do some writing or take a test. 

Bobby was a street wandering cat that lived at 85 year old Roses house. He loved walking through the front yard with its neat flower beds of peach and red roses in different shades.   Today was a lovely day with blue skies and the sun was shining behind some clouds.  He strolled slowly along the little old cracked concrete garden path then through the little iron fence between the miniature brick front fence.   He walked down the street seeing yellow dandelions here and there and sometimes stopping to paw at the dandelions that were fluffy wishing dandelions and then he watched the fluffy pieces float far far away into the sky.  Down the street he saw a 2 story home with a huge old tree high above him. He walked up the driveway then on the path around the side of the house towards the backyard.  He went through a small picket fence into the backyard where there was just grass and some big trees scattered around the back of the backyard.  Below one...

Milly and her friend Summer thought that it would be a good day to walk to the park pond a few streets away.  The sun was shining and the sky was blue and there were all these lovely white fluffy clouds in the sky. They started walking past all the charming houses and their lovely gardens and slowly up and down the hills in their area.  They walked to a busy road then across the road when all was quiet to the park where the big pond was.  There was so many tall trees at the park and gardens with lots of hedges and neat bushes surrounding the big pond.  There was a little grass pathway around the pond. They walked through all the tall trees then Started walking along the little grass pathway around the pond. There was so many lillypads and waterlillies in the pond floating on the water which looked dark blue but also greenish from the reflections from all the tall trees.  Around a little bend in the path they saw a little group of ducks napping on the edge of the...

It was another day, I just woke up, and felt my comfy bed underneath me and saw and felt the sunshine from a new day in my room. I got up to have breakfast, having my banana then a vegetable juice from the kitchen. It was such a pretty day, so I decided to go on a little walk around the back garden. I walked down the steps, then onto the soft grass. It was a pretty little garden with lawn surrounded by a garden bed along the fence bordered by rocks. The garden featured a number of small plants including hibiscus plants that flowered. There was also a big banana tree. And there was a little pond in the corner surrounded by plants. I walked along the edge of the garden bed, loving the feeling of sunshine and being connected to nature, feeling like a fairy. Suddenly I noticed something behind one of the plants. It was a treasure chest! How did that get here? It was a mystery. I decided to open the treasure chest. It was old wood but I got it to creak open. The edges were lined with gold a...

I love exploring and it was a beautiful day so I decided to go for a drive with my friend Laura to Lacey's Creek, near Dayboro, a spot I'd never been before. We set off, on the long drive to Dayboro through the countryside past many tall eucalyptus trees and hills covered in forest. We played forest music in the car, enchanting music that reminded me of the mountains and countryside. We went through Dayboro, the charming little country town then turned right at the pub and kept driving past more charming country houses and beautiful countryside and mountain views. Eventually we turned left at Lacey's Creek Road. This was it, the unexplored area I'd found on my phone's maps. We were so delighted at what we saw. The landscape was of many farms of rolling grassy hills with forest in the distance. We saw many cows grazing in the fields. I loved how exploring new places was like the world opening up to me, revealing how impossibly big the world is. Eventually we came to ...

It's always a bright joyful place  You know you're there when you see the bright sparkling blue water  You enter a garden by the lake Soon reaching the path by the lake  Little birds are chirping and flitting about up in the trees  Bearded Dragons small to big offer a friendly welcome letting you know this is their home you have come to  As you walk by the water you see some water birds, water wren with their black and dark blue bodies and red beaks. They honk to eachother  Talking to their loved ones  And they are just always foraging on the edge of the lake  You pass quaint peaceful quiet little apartments next to the lake  Each With their own lovely little garden You pass under tall shady trees that block out a lot of light  Walking through a more open space by the lake you find more bearded dragons of all sizes sunning themselves on the grass next to the garden beds  You see a lot of colourful water plants here in the distance,...

  I go there all the time  What's nice  Is I've realized I'm so close to the ocean  It's such a bright happy place  Travelling there  Doesn't take long  Around the street and down a long road  Buildings and houses and lots of people  Then there's more trees and nature  Through the native trees and bushes  Exists a little piece of countryside by the ocean  They look like really relaxing places to live  With their traditional farm cottage looks  Through the trees you see glimpses of the water, bright and blue in the daylight Around the bend we see sheep in a paddock Sometimes horses  There's the little jetty for fishing people  And then the long park and walk by this ocean inlet  A cozy little cafe is now on the corner There's always bright happy people here and there at this shore  The bright sunlight makes the deep blue ocean water sparkle  We always see some seagulls and pelicans  There'...

I was a street cat  When I was so young  Left to survive on my own in the neighbourhood  I knew I'd be OK though  Cause I'm such a beautiful well behaved cat  Yes soft and fluffy shiny grey fur and big yellow eyes  I always keep myself perfectly clean and lovely  And I have adorable soft rounded little feet as well  Well I did find people to adopt me  A big lovely house with a big garden and plenty of very tall shady trees  I guess I'm lucky now  Now I live the life  I found so much love and pats and cuddles  I like my meals on time and make no mistake  Us cats are queens and princesses  So I make sure to let her know when it's time for me to eat  There's so many spots for me to laze around  Inside and outside  With my big soft fluffy grey tail to show off to the world  I love to explore the world too  Well around where I live  I call it my world  I love to get to know other nei...
