EremoterraThe chronicle of Papua Hello
Dense evergreen rainforest, 1369 m up, kept by winifred
Every line is a record the land wrote; the names in quotes are the owner's words. What the chronicle does not say did not happen. Most lines fade after half a year; the kept ones stay.
Animals here this month: thylacine (denning), cassowary (feeding), eagle (nesting), wallaby (feeding), python (feeding), parrot (nesting).
