April 2013 – Dooral Roundup 1 EDITOR’S REPORT Changing Seasons By Judy Pope I hope all our readers had a great Easter holiday break and we have certainly been blessed with some outstanding March weather. The thought of winter was put on the back burner temporarily... e have had some interesting events unfold politically over the Wlast week with probably the most noteable being the leadership challenge that did not eventuate to the Prime Minister. Regardless of what most of the public think of Julia Gillard and how much she is incessantly vilified in the press on this occasion she stood firm and came out looking by far the least mud stained. There is still a long way to go until September and hopefully now they can get on with governing without being side swiped from within their own ranks. The polls are indicating a massive swing to Liberal though not a great deal of popularity for their current leader Tony Abbott. My youngest son turned 21 last month and it seems like I just blinked and the six boys are all grown up. My eldest son is now 30 and that makes me feel really old - and I am a grandmother to baby Brody. BUT I now have spare time and on the weekend I read a book from cover to cover, the first in a long time. You never know, I may start knitting soon!! The first four of my children have travelled extensively and that is my next goal – to start exploring the world.
