Hugh Innes reads poems about drought and climate change

[luke200202]

from the brink.

we stare motionless into the abyss

there is no sanctuary for the destroyers of worlds.

we shed no tears,we have none .

we ask no forgiveness

we simply wait

I'm pleased to see that members of communities affected by climate change find new voices, including those of poems, and new channels, including Climate Witness, to tell the world how climate change is disrupting our lives! Well done Hugh.

Does anybody have a contact email address for Hugh? My family and I used to know him when he lived in England, but we lost contact when he moved back to Australia.

I got in contact with University of Queensland RFC, where Hugh played rugby until a year ago. He confirmed to me that it was the Hugh I was looking for and told me that the club still had his details and would contact him for me to get us back in touch, but I never heard anything more about it. That's as close as I got.

Hugh lived in England between 2004 and 2006. He was a close family friend but we somehow lost contact when he returned to Oz and we'd love to get back in contact with him.
