blue mountains night life...
“Night falls. In a lonely valley called the Sink, four people prepare for a quiet evening. Then in his orchard, Murray Jacob sees a moving shadow. Across the swamp, his neighbour Ronnie watches her lover leave and feels her baby roll inside her. And on the veranda of the Stubbses’ house, a small dog is torn screaming from its leash by something unseen. Nothing will be the same again.”Make of this what you will... And this... And this...

What I make of these, Gerry, is that if you want people to take your blog seriously you should not provide links to drivel like this.
Ahh Tony... I do not control how my readers respond to what I put in here. I neither gave credence to the subject of those links, nor did I try to "debunk" them.
I merely persented them and let the reader decide what to do with them. I thought I was being tongue-in-cheek. You seem to have been offended (again).
I'm certainly not going to censor my blog content to the exent that it always meets with the approval of the supercillious class fascists of years gone by. I'm an idiot with a keyboard and I have a blog. That's it.
P.S. Read the disclaimer immediately below the blog title/description.
You could consider removing the carrot and developing a sense of humour.
This interests me because its in my neck of the woods, literally, and I do have my own tail of a rare, if not highly improbable sighting.
We had bought Thai takeaway from the Chork Dee to go and eat out on the famed Narrowneck. On the way, near Katoomba Caravan Park, an animal ran in front of the car head-lights, I was sitting in the back and my two Kiwi friends were in the front. This animal stopped and looked at us for a few seconds. "What's that?" says the driver, a quick look I says, "Its a dog". They both chime in "That's not a dog." I looks again. My brain takes in this animal, and words appear - Marsuipial? Dingo? no . . . Thylacince! "Its a Thyalacine!" I say excitedly. "A what?" from the front seat. "A Tasmanian Tiger!!!"
It had a big head short ears, a long tan body with stripes and a longish sharply pointing tail - My kiwi friends who had a better view than I, were convinced it wasnt'a dog - so it had to be a Thylacine. No doubt! Rare sightings is not really my thing. I have a friend out on Shipley whose place looks west towards Hampton; he says he has seen asteriods, spacejunk, or some such out there where the sky is big.
Post what you want it's your site and free speech will soon be gone!!! Man knows less than what he knows.

Trying to be a true sceptic, I keep an open mind. A lot of so-called “skeptics” are actually bigoted contra-believers. I do have to say that much of what these “researchers” say amounts unfounded assumption and conjecture, and I can see how that could infuriate a lot of readers - especially those in possession of Absolute Truths to the contrary.
No Gerry, I wasn't offended, merely offering friendly advice. I shan't do it again.
Hmmm... I don't know what to say to you Tony.
You're welcome to make comments you like here. And I will respond to them however I se fit. If this doesn't offend you, I guess we've got a beautiful blogger's relationship. :-)
Cheers, mate.
