High wind day - dust Part 1

Recently we had an extremely windy day. At first I thought the strange sky was bushfire smoke, but it was not - just our precious topsoil blowing off. With Australia's very fragile soils, the loss of topsoil through land clearing and development is a major concern.

Easter Sunday at Mogo

The flowering gums in Mogo car park are magnificent at Easter. I've shown these before, but always worth a return look.






The locally made wood carvings in the main streets of Mogo and Moruya are magnificent. I was most negligent in not stopping to notice the details of the carver, but will do so next time.






This old tractor sits looking rather sculptural on a block near the car park.
