In The Parrot’s Eye
Scarlet perched on the widest branch of the tree overlooking Barron Falls. She always had her best friend Ruana by her side, no matter the time of day, season, or circumstances. They were like conjoined twins from birth on the exact same day, May 5, fifteen years ago. Although they had distinct parents, they were both macaws: Scarlet – in hues of red, blue, and yellow; Ruana – in shades of blue and gold. Both parrot girlfriends worshipped the sight of their beloved rugged Barron Gorge National Park in northeast Australia as their native village, Kuranda, was positioned here between tropical rainforest, mountains, and the Barron River.

Three-masted; square-rigged on the foremast and mainmast and lateen-rigged on the mizzenmast; six sails; carvel-built carrack in deep scarlet. I faintly suspected that it would eventually happen, but since I didn’t believe it, my hopes didn’t wake up at all. Usually, this is the case when you don’t expect it, your greatest adventure can strike when you don’t think about it. And then it comes. Quite unexpectedly.
