The Broken Vase

 

Seeing beauty in imperfection

 

Ten years on from their honeymoon and the devastating effects of an accident which changed the course of their lives, Terri and Steve have learnt that despite significant everyday challenges and the uncertainty of what the future holds, there is joy to be found in the simple things.

Rather than focus on the tragedy that set them on this path, they have instead developed a new way of living grounded in a greater appreciation of life and of each other.

About the Author

Timothy Cheng is a business owner/operator specialising in computer software solutions for the Australian bus and coach industry. Tim is a full-time single father of Jasmine and David, a gym junkie, a diehard Sydney Roosters supporter and a passionate horse racing participant. Racing was always destined to play some role in Tim’s life, as the first and only thing he would read was the ‘yellow form guide’ in the Telegraph Mirror every Friday. His late grandfather Bill Sun was also a penciller for big bookmakers Bill Waterhouse, Les Tidmarsh and Terry Page during the 1970s and 80s, so it would be fair to say racing was in his blood. Known for his bright red suit, Tim’s post-race celebrations and antics with some of his fellow Redzel owners are regularly played in racing carnival promotions today.

Australia’s Forgotten Soldiers from Paraguay

Last century ago a large number of people left Australia with the idea of the founding a New Australia – a communistic paradise – in the middle of Paraguay, in South America (states The Diggers’ Gazette). The attempt was a disastrous failure, but it is interesting to learn that the half-dozen families still left of the original settlers at Colonia Cosme sent 14 volunteers to the war practically – every fit man. One was 56 years old, and others were so young when they left Australia that they could not remember it at all. And they had to travel a thousand miles, presumably at their own expense, to reach the coast at Buenos Aires. Probably this fine result was due to a survival of the influence of William Lane, the founder of the colony, who was always strongly British in sentiment, lost a son in the war, and was largely instrumental, as editor of a daily newspaper in New Zealand, in getting compulsory service adopted there.

“This book brings light to the life stories of Australian heroes who, after calling Paraguay their new home, responded to the call of duty during the First World War.”
– Armando Fernández Galté, Head of Mission, Embassy of Paraguay, Canberra

About the Author

Robert A. Barnes first travelled to Paraguay as an exchange student in 1982.

A visit to Nueva Australia and a chance meeting with one of the few remaining colonists sparked a lasting interest in William Lane’s New Australia experiment, and more specifically, the little-known stories of those New Australians who left Paraguay to fight for Britain in the Great War of 1914-1918.

After university and short career as a provincial newspaper journalist, Robert served in the Australian Regular Amy for 23 years.

This is Robert’s second book. He has previously written a historical romance novel, Asunción, set in Paraguay during the tumultuous period between 1922 to 1947.

Robert is married to Misook and they live with their kelpie Max in Cooma, New South Wales.

Five Minutes to Midnight

The average life-expectancy of an Australian male is 81.5 years. In view of my proximity to that lapidary age, I thought it was time to record those parts of my life as yet unchronicled. These reminiscences are bookended by the 2021 recollections of my wife Jo and myself, who count ourselves fortunate to be based in Adelaide, one of the world’s safest and most liveable cities.

Unsent Letters

A potpourri of propositions on topics of the day; few subjects escape the chronicling pen of a Burnside scribe, as the calendar year 2023 continues its diurnal round.

Unsent Letters is a wry take on contemporary trends in the increasingly crazy world we inhabit, as well as a hymn to Australia, a paean to the defunct British Empire and a lament for the leaving of Languedoc, Peter and Jo’s one-time second home.

About the Author

Born in Australia through fortunes of war, Peter Emery spent his formative years in Malaysia and Scotland before embarking on a teaching career, which took him to most countries of the Arab World, culminating in a stint as Visiting Professor of Translation Studies at UAE University, Al-Ain, 2010-2013.
