One of the highlights was the tour “Wonderland by Night” with Archie Bigg. Although it was wet (torrential at the end) it was a great night listening to Archie tell his poems and showing his excellent light shows.
When we arrived home Michelle said that she would write a poem about Archie and I have attached it in case you might like to publish it sometime.

We just had an evening with Archie,
Archie Bigg is the gentleman’s name
He regaled us with poems and stories
as we walked in the soaking rain
The first was about a clever old cow
then one of a convict called Barney,
Barney Duffy that is
who spent seven long years in a tree
Still it was pouring as he told of his snoring,
we laughed at the legs sticking out of the car,
A poem on tourists “ohhh the questions they ask”
There were sights to behold as the poems unfolded
of dunnies and laundry sheds
the one on “ent me” we all understood
We rounded the bend to a beautiful sightthe woodland all bathed in
a soft gold light
Right next to me was a magical tree
that reached fair up to the sky
This tree we were told was 200 years old
and was home to a beautiful bird
that returns every year to give beauty
I hear, to this pine, a grand old tree
Witches flew by in the wet night sky,
there was a visit from santa too
Wet and bedraggled we head for the shed
and were greeted with coffee and cake
Wet we might be, but we all did agree
just like that beautiful bird, we will all return
To that spiritual isle in the sea.
Thank you Archie and Wonderland, would not have missed it for quids.
Cheers
Bill and Michelle Holmes (NSW)
