A trip to Everest Base camp, it's, it's, an experience that changed me. In many ways it defies words. Every step, every experience, every sight, every sound, every person you meet, every day that you taking in this beautiful, cruel, rugged, tough, enchanting place.
Proud lions defend the entrances whilst kids squeal with pleasure, exitedly runing around and playing cricket. Out and about the sense of community is everywhere. A workingbee restores a giant statue of Buddha set in a beautiful garden. Women in colourful saris enjoying sunshine and a laugh whilst lining up to collect water at a local spring. This is hard life infused with simple pleasures.

The sound of nature as it's fat raindrops splash down on a path. The sound of the ocean lapping against the sandy shore. The sounds of birds in evening squabbles, the sound of the wind as I ride my bike, the feel of a hug from someone I care for, the sound of joy as sung by a child, the sound of my heart as it beats to a distant drum. These are some of the ten thousand things...
Save our wonderful environment!
Support the Wilderness Society.
Write a letter to our minister Steve Bracks!
Urge him to stop logging,
to stop woodchipping old growth forests,
to stop wasting water.
