Liberating insects
A letter from Andrew Pendlebury, Junee Prison, New South Wales
G’day Ven. Aileen,
How are you – warm I hope! I’m writing to you because something special has happened to me – about five days ago I noticed a Bogong month had landed on the other side of the grill to my window. They get lost on their breeding migration to the mountains and are attracted by the bright lights of the prison. I said good morning to it and then went about my daily routine.
