Walking With Cars

Treasures and portents gleaned on a walk west across suburban Sydney. Crushed bottle-caps
scanned and enlarged to
the diameter of my head,
birds cut from contemporary streetscapes. The 'crack' of the Eastern Whipbird, a favourite which once hopped beneath our hawthorn hedge, is today rarely heard: 70% of the species recorded in my parents' 1965 bird-lists no longer visit the area.
