— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue Website Series , October no. 20 2013;

'Bucketty Diary is an extract from a journal written during visits to a cabin in the bush at Bucketty, north of Sydney, over a period of several years. At the beginning and end of the journal there are short accounts of the context of the journal. The writing observes the environment, and reflects on the experience of living close to the country, an experience like camping out. It is creative rather than critical writing, with a brief reflection at the end on influences and intentions. ' (Author's abstract)
