Hello Visitor. Welcome To 'Abandoned Land'

Abandoned Land is where life's forgotten dreams, imaginary friends and other such stuff ends up. They don't die. They live on somewhere in time and space. This was the idea for a book. A book which may never be written. Therefore the idea of Abandoned Land, the book, must also reside in Abandoned Land, the blog.  Abandoned Land is where the dreams of animals live on.  Abandoned Land is where my two childhood imaginary friends, Journey & Fludo live on.  The title is also a reference to the colonising British regarding this country of Australia as Terra Nullius. My connection to Australia only goes back to convict and redcoat ancestors who arrived in 1794, became a couple and started a family. I don't have 60000 years of connection to this country. I like this country. I identify with it. Basically love it. We have seen better days, in some ways, but in other ways things are gradually lumbering in the right direction.  My novel for children or anyone who cares to read it,
