Autumn

Autumn is here and today it began to bite. We have had a cold (by our standards) and wet couple of days.

We didn’t have much of a summer this year what with the endless, often flooding rain.

So to cheer myself up I am posting a few sunny piccies from our mini vacation of a couple of weeks ago.

This almost gothic building is the former courthouse at Yarram in Gippsland.Two more shots at Port Welshpool.
A crayfish boat:The mountains in the background of this one are Wilson’s Promontory. They form a massive peninsula that protrudes into Bass Straight. They are the most southerly point of the Oz mainland. A national park, they are very beautiful and popular as a walking/camping destination.

Speaking of flooding rains our Army was busy evacuating hundreds of people by helicopter from Wilson’s Prom today. They have had such heavy rain there that flash flooding has destroyed sections of the only road in and washed away one of the bridges.

Now to end on an up note. This ruin is at Port Albert.It is for sale
Deb was very tempted. I’m not quite so sure (I know who’d get to fix it up) :-)
