The sun glints off the little waves in the Corhanwarrabul Creek in Rowville. I’ve been meaning to get a photo of this abandoned bicycle and helmet for a while now, today was the day! Is there something more sinister under all of that mud?
Red flowering gum, corymbia ficifolia, flowers found in Kilsyth on an early evening dogwalk. When they are in full flower the tree appears almost completely red, something that always impressed Nan – a wonderful way to remember her.
Dog-walking at this time of year is a good opportunity to see the Christmas lights. I’m not too sure of the family appropriate nature of this display though! The poor reindeer seems to be having a tough day at work.
Bushfires locally in Croydon and further afield in the Grampians swathed Melbourne in smoke yesterday afternoon. The sky, and the sun, turned orange; that and the wind took some of the heat out of the day – perfect weather for swimming.
The track winds around the side of the Big Rock Paddock in the Track Paddock. The track was carved out of the hill side with a few patches scraping over solid rock. At the paddock end it comes through a tunnel of wattle saplings.
A contrail, or chemtrail if you are a conspiracy theorist, over the farm in Strathbogie.
Susan and Zoe hold hands way back in January 2013.
On the way back into Strathbogie from Mt Wombat we spotted this Koala perched in a tree.
The elaborately lined, and massive, wheel of yesterday’s Foden traction engine at the Royal Geelong Show 2024.
A close-up of yesterday The “Blackstone” Oil Engine (#96346) at the Royal Geelong Show 2024.
A few weeks ago I had a quick trip to the Royal Geelong Show, for some Corgi showing. During a break in the show, and the rain, I managed to escape and look a the machinery exhibits. This Lancing Bagnall tractor / tug was a bit different to the steam, oil and traction engines on display.
