Dennis Argall: Photos of Helen

Photos of Helen

We went on Wednesday to a dinner for Jennie George, retiring from parliament. Before we left, I had a moment to take photos of Helen with the iPhone. Pleased with results.

This second photo is with a painting Helen bought at the NAIDOC week exhibition in Nowra,

painting by Aboriginal elder Auntie Marie Stewart, entitled Doonooch - local Aboriginal name for owl

— the owl having also for Aborigines the reputation of wisdom

about me

I am Australian. I have degrees in social anthropology and defence studies. I have worked for the Australian Government and parliament and in overseas missions in The Philippines, Italy, the United States and China. In Washington as Counsellor then acting Minister. In Beijing as Australian Ambassador to China. In disability I developed a small organic farm but had to give that up; I have had more opportunity than most to read and think. My disability begins with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, probably post-viral in China. Earning marginally less disrespect with the arrival of long covid. I am not a member of any organisation. I am solely responsible for what is placed in this blog. Unless otherwise stated I am the author of what is placed here. The blog is revived in early 2022 given the extraordinary rise in conflict, and if not of wider war, great damage to the planet by thoughtless sanctions programs.
