“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

YANGARRA: ONE HOUR. TEN SNAPS
















I took these snaps between 4:30 and 5:30 this afternoon on Yangarra Estate Vineyard, McLaren Vale, South Australia ... the weather rolls in real quick and violent this spring

I like the lasses in the coppice at the bottom. I'm sure they're women. Six magpies live in them. And many other things. When the really bad storms came a month back, I watched them through my kitchen window, amazed that they could flex so. Huge trees bending way over is a humbling enough thing to see. Then they spring right back up and do the dance again.

They live there in a big crack in the slab ironstone. Everywhere there's a crack, there be redgums.
