Something old, something new, something borrowed . . . Augustus John. Dear Readers. Myself and my “partner in crime”; Helen Tuxford, are considering opening a blog site dedicated to our magazine; “The Scriveners Review” so that we can reach a reading audience more diverse than our local hard-copy recipients. This will involve having people like you reading and subscribing to the blog…and at the moment we are asking ourselves; “Is it worth it? Below is our ideology. *** I invite you to immerse yourselves in a revitalised arts movement we are attempting to create with our humble little magazine called ; “The Scriveners Review”. It can be called ; “The Romantic Movement Reborn”..yes, reborn into the twenty- first century, reborn into a cynical and materialist age where creative arts and crafts are only considered for their “bottom-line value”, ie; what is it worth and is there a market for it?

The Concubines. Claes Moeyaert.. Mooy-Aal and Her Suitors. The Concubines. As does healthy fruit grace a flowering vine, So will healthy women be graced with concubines, For is it not the will of nature’s design, Beauty of the female spirit should honoured be, With men’s singular attention, waiting patiently, One would forever be a suitor forlorn, One would desire to be a lover sworn, Whilst the silly one could resort to bad poetry, All will take their place in her itinerary! For why should a lady in demand so grace, This or that suitor a favour of place, Feign that chance would give such a taste, Would lead a damsel to loss of face, And end elusive mystery in wanton disgrace? No… Let sit at ease this natural state, That women may lead with men in chase, For order is set in such concourse, That follow in junction orderly laws, Where woman’s beauty of spirit holds forth.

Just up-river and around a few bends, around ten miles from the main town of the region (I think you know the one I mean), was the little hamlet of “Spiked Echidna”…the name arising from the government surveyor who set out the village remarking on the surprising number of echidnas in that particular area. It consisted of a small cluster of multi-ethnic families that settled here during and after the Great Depression, when the government made land available for the many new arrivals from overseas and other families driven by unemployment and poverty to these and many other regional centres along The Murray River. The landscape around “Spike”( the shortening of the longer name being a common thing in Australian lingo) was mostly flat or shallow undulating, this is where most of the ...
