As Autumn calls

Reading blogs from the other side of the world is sometimes strange as we are all planting the same things lately, yet ours is for winter growing. The summer garden certainly suffered from this years heat. Now though Autumn has hit as if someone new it was the end of daylight saving.
Night temps are down to 15degs but the days still range from 24-30.

The Golden Orb Weaver has now finished her sojourn with us, Oct-March and then gone, as a silent signal heralds the colder months and time for her to sleep.


The walks on the beach now catch the last of the light on the shorter evenings, and soon we will have to catch the sun during the day on the weekend as the weekdays will be too short.


And for the blogger who placed 'Where's Wally' pics or rather 'where's the deer' well can you find the animal in the first picture...of course the second one gives a hint and sorry so small but it is not easy to catch a pic of these as they dissapear quickly.



Wishing you well with the gardens and the Spring and some warmer weather. What will the climate do this year I wonder.......

Of bamboo and goannas

The bamboo that appeared on the blog...just scroll down for a look has now reached some 3 metres plus and is about 60cm thick...it may well take over but is wonderful and brings the frogs and birds to the water underneath it...a little noisy at times with the frogs...
We finally found what has been living underneath the fridge...a goanna we think..a baby...and as will be understood from past posts we don't need an adult pet goanna...now free to raom in the garden...as long as Charlie does not see him/her...
All well in the bush...lots of rain lately which is a bonus for the whole place...smells great...though the grass is again raging....all the wild critters are certainly buzzing...
