Proud to be included in Issue 14 Summer/Autumn 2025 of Echidna Tracks especially with these talented haikuists.
Thank you to the editors Marilyn Humbert and Simon Hanson for their dedication in working to choose the haiku for the journal and especially for their sensitive and thoughtful placing of our work.

a fleet of bluebottles
sails into Sydney harbour
Corine Timmer
bluebottle tide
silver gulls forage
in seaweed
Vanessa Proctor
ebbing tide—
the beachcomber treasures
her amble
Colleen Keating
low tide
the setting sun sips
from a salt-rimmed glass
Kathryn Reese
voices in the night . . .
the stars maintain
their silence
Elaine Riddell
cloudy night vigil—
waiting to see the moon
perfectly full
Andrew Hede
peek-a-boo moon
meandering through the creek
a rakali
Corine Timmer
looking for peace—
a rakali carves V-wakes
across the river
Tony Steven Williams
by the river
corellas scramble for space
solitary ironbark
Colleen Keating
