Waltzing Matilda – It’s all about observation

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree,

And he sang and he watched and he waited till

his billy boiled

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

And he sang and he watched and he waited till

his billy boiled,

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

“Only an expert can deal with the problem” –

Laurie Anderson

The House Fly

A nicer House Fly

Knowledge is Power

The Knowledge Economy

Pass on what you know

Find a way to store and distribute what you

know

Make your medium cheap and accessible

Aim to help others understand

Is Big Simple or Complex ?

Our planet formed about 4.5 billion years ago

Our planet orbits a single star, the sun

Our sun is one of 300 billion stars in our galaxy,

the Milky Way

Our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across

and 1,000 light years thick

Let’s have a quick look and a play...........

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree,

And he sang and he watched and he waited till

his billy boiled

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

And he sang and he watched and he waited till

his billy boiled,

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

And that Swagman ? It’s all about observation
