we had five weeks in byron bay, in which we recharged our batteries, ate some home cooked dahl, hung out with friends...
...soaked up the lush green of the forest, and – at last - emptied the suitcases.
(that’s maniko with my guitar – she has a great cd out called ‘house of the beloved’ produced by kit walker - track it down – she’s one of our all time favourite songwriters)
our first stop was sydney.
we love sydney - its pulse is full–on, fast and vibrant – a bit of a culture shock after the silence of the rain forest.
fortunately we spent some time near the ocean...
it was great to hook up with manose again, of course!
we’d said goodbye in hawaii and he left for nepal to spend time with his family...
...and kamal, our trusty down-under sound tec, recording engineer and ashram pal...overjoyed, as always, to see his old sparring parnter manose.
...and last but not least, we were reunited with our australian tour promoter and sweetheart, chris hooper






oh my god, those frangipani curtains look so beautiful...
and thank you for your beautiful concert in sydney, we felt blessed to connect with you all again and deeply appreciated the extended hugs :-)
all love, tara

Beautiful photos,places and persons.
I would very much like to be closer to you to be able to appreciate its beauty, its melody and its divine presence. What I can tell here and now, it is with music that reaches here in Australia and that fortunately I am grateful to God for that. Thanks for knowing human beings as beautiful and magnificent as you and receive a melody that both me encanta.
I leave them with much love in the heart,
Namastê,
Marta
