Cockburn and Poole have great pleasure in bringing you this weeks wrap.

But first a word from Errol: “I know that there are two men inside me.  One wants to ramble around the globe more than once, in the sky and below water.  The other man is a settled fellow, who thinks sometimes he is or should be a husband-man, and that he should sit settled in a house by the side of the road or by the side of the sea.  Both are inside me.  Each is true.”  From My Wicked Wicked Ways, by Errol Flynn 1959.

Design Doctor continued on his way watching his boss Claude make management sense with a Conference titled Talking Urban and Regional Design. Insightful stuff, even if we do say so ourselves.  It can be seen here, here and here

The Musical Dispatch from the Front related oil and mineral exploration to medical procedures and to the NT intervention.

On Poetry Sunday our acting Poet Laureate Ira Maine gave us “A Fowl Education”, introducing us to the ways of Geese and certain women called Miranda.  A bonza start to Education Week, C & P thought.

Monday brought the brilliant Naplan Mine Tinkit.  Of course this opened the way for our monster competition – to suggest the origin of the acronym NAPLAN.  Entries are flooding in and will be published on Friday.  Make sure yours is in too, for the chance to win!

And Tuesday saw Tarquin O’Flaherty elucidate education in his inimitable style in his piece titled “The Imperial Need”.

Happy reading from Q Cockburn and C Poole.
