Winter is here.
There’s
a little snow falling on the mountain as I write. It gets dark at 4.30 and the nights are cold. Wood
smoke drifts on the night air and the last remaining leaves look like decorations left over from a long ago party. Despite the temptation to stay
indoors sipping hot chocolate for the next three months, I have been lured out
at least twice. Nature may appear to be sleeping but there are still several
exciting things going on.
There have been reports of spectacular
aurorae, the biolumescent plankton has returned to our beaches and the fungi have been absolutely amazing. More on
those later....
Meanwhile here are
some waterfall pictures to keep you going. While not so high, they are a pretty
sight when you can bring yourself to go outside and these involve only short
walks not far from Hobart.

| Black Glen - a series of pretty cascades, some of them quite high at Lachlan near New Norfolk |

| Upper level Myrtle Forest falls, not to be confused with Myrtle Gully Falls on the other side of Mt. Wellington | |
