Five members of the Bindii Group gathered for a Zoom meeting at 3pm Australian Central Standard Time: Steve Wigg, Julia Wakefield, Stella Damarjati, Maureen Sexton and Lynette Arden. An apology was received from Maeve Archibald.

Four members of the Bindii Group gathered for a Zoom meeting at approximately 2pm Australian Central Standard Time: Steve Wigg, Julia Wakefield, Stella Damarjati and Lynette Arden. Apologies were received from Maureen Sexton and Maeve Archibald.
We had arranged to bring some haiku on the theme of ageing or time passing, but all of us had been over busy – how often people seem to be saying that these days! – so we had very little to show each other. Stella, Lynette and Julia submitted their haiku that had already been accepted for Echidna Tracks, so there were no improvements offered, but the topics sparked a lively discussion about the images that were evoked.

For Echidna Tracks, Issue 12, we invite your best and previously unpublished haiku and senryu on any topic that stirs your imagination.
The submission period for Echidna Tracks Issue 12: Open Theme will be open during the month of September 2023. Submissions will only be received via the submissions form and during the time the link is open.
Anybody can submit work that is relevant to Australia – but as this is a website for the collection of Australian haiku, the work we are looking for will come from an authentic experience of either living in or visiting Australia. Unfortunately, we cannot consider your submission when we cannot verify an Australian connection.
