Thanks for your interest,

Jack Batstone sitting there at the table with a plug in his ear and hardly any hair on his head – sat there and crouched over an A4 pad and scribbling on it with an intensity calculations so dense, so miniature, so scribal – it reminded me of Priests and Temples and The Holy Writ of Mysteries scribbled in arterial blood by some starving Zealot hallucinating in a stone room chuckled out of a granite cliff a thousand feet vertical above a river centuries dry in a country without Kings.
Jack Batstone, last seen haggling with Scott Dillon about the price of a water-heavy and yellowed balsa pig at South Bondi.
Last spoken to in the Astra Hotel one Saturday morning when the girls would sling a sheet between the tills behind the bar to catch the uncounted money and drunkenness stood for joy.
Ejaculated out of Waverley College with a perfect Leaving Certificate Maths III paper and nought else but memberships to the School of Arts Snooker Room in Bondi Road and the South Bondi Boardriders.
Sitting on a stool in Jupiters Casino watching the luminant Roulette scoreboard above the wheel that has red-eyed the last dozen winning numbers and every time another is added he bends to his pad and adds another five lines of script and every twenty minutes he bets and even when the croupier pushes over another stack of winning chips Jack is figuring newer moves.
Winning the money is nowhere near the spike of getting the sums right.
The plug in his ear plays Koyaanisqatsi; he lives in a two-room motel room in Broadbeach and sometimes he will take home a leftover hooker for breakfast when the temple is empty of tourists
Jack is nearly sixty and his two stale rooms ache with neglect.
He sits on his unmade bed, on his crusted sheets, and risks another rebuff, this time from an old friend whose only intimacy is a handshake goodbye.

I have just got to know Kurungabaa and really liked what I have read, seen and watched at the blog.
You have just got a new reader.
Keep up the good work, guys!
Cheers from Brasil,
Gustavo
How can I purchase past copies?
Please help save Avoca Beach.. ‘NO SHIP’ see noship.com.au
Avoca Beach is in serious trouble with a 4000 tonne warship to be scuttled on the lowershore face of the beach. The scuttling area is a large sand deposit directly off the beach that exhibits sand bed formations indicating that sediments are transported from this area to the nearshore surf zone. Avoca is in BIG trouble.

Hey, the magazine arrived and is terrific! I’m trying to hold off for quality bed time reading but have been sucked into the vortex.
Peter, could you please email me?
Thank you, Mike
Hello Kurungabaa’s
A quick thanks a mill for my copies of your lovely journal and for giving me the opportunity to contribute…(meaning to send this for awhile).
Bests to all
Gerry
hey i loved your contribution-quite evocative, reminded of the short piece in POE2 by DeC Ghosts in the City. Sounds like you have quite a gig in Newcastle. salut
I did a pay pal transation for a copy of your magazine – but got an email that Clifton Evers had moved on. I wonder if the oder is being processed by someone else??
Hi Karen,
Clif has moved on, but not in the Kurungabaa sense. We’ll make sure he checks it out for you.
Thanks for letting us know, and even more thanks for subscribing!
Rebecca
Dear Kurangabaa’s,
after falling in love with what i was seeing, i quickly made the choice to subscribe to the magazine.
but somewhere along the way i feel i have messed the process up. if i made the payment in october, which would be the first issue i would receive? i haven’t yet received anything.
if you could point me in the right direction of who is best to contact, would be much appreciated…
marcus

marcus
Marcus,
Stoked that it got to you sooner or later
Apologies again for the mixup…
Hope you’re enjoying the read!
I am absolutely blown away about you current page(a bit teary)and I’ve only had a few Guinness and a couple of reds.
Many thanks, Shane! We’ve been working hard maintaining the blog and coming up with outrageous artwork, poetry and stories for the next journal issue. Please feel free to spread the word to all your friends I guarantee we’ll keep finding pieces that will keep your interest!
Hi, have sent off subscription payment – when do i receive a publication – February?
Hi Larissa,
That is what we are working towards. Thanks for subscribing. It is taking awhile to pull it all together and December holidays always get in the way – printers etc. Stay tuned. Any problems with this let me know. I hope you are getting some down time.
Clif
Anyone made any changes to the administrative rights today?
pete
I did, I thought you were done with the ‘baa. I was doing some spring cleaning, tidying up posts, etc. If you aren’t done I will happily reinstate.
Please do so clif, because my petebowes.com blog is mapped to the ‘baa – right now I don’t even have rights to my own blog – I will take the necessary steps to take myself out of the ‘baa admin once the link is taken off
I appreciate that internet access in China is difficult Clif – are there any other ‘baa administrators who can assist here please – I am still locked out of the petebowes.com blog
Sorted. All should be working now.
All ok, thanks simonO – thanks clif .. you gotta stop punching buttons old veteran
Hi there, I was wondering what has happened to the latest issue of Kurungabaa. I recall Clif posting about it going to press some time back and various comments about the ‘baa being not only a website, so now just waiting…
Hi Karen,
The changes have taken quite awhile. Just about there. Sorry. It is coming!
Cool. Looking forward to it!
Thanks Clif.

Hello. Nice idea but I am plum out of words at the moment, pb. And the BBs don’t inspire

Also, I have zero ability at writing humour or telling jokes. I can laugh, but that is the closest I get
hey clif, they ain’t meant to inspire, the whole thing is a pisstake – and I know you are ok at that – all you need is a bottle and a keyboard -
Clif, you want to be one of the judges – might as well, I’ve already nominated you.
