Photos of my area in Winter

Not bad for the 2nd week of Winter.

This place is just in the next suburb to me, about 10 minutes away, and I had never been there, even though we have lived here for 6 years. The drive up the hill was a bit scary for my daughter, as she could see the drop down the side, and it was only a 1 car wide track. She kept asking what happens if a car comes the other way :D

I'm really naffed off. Our huge stretch of poinsettia bushes still haven't got any red on them and everywhere I go there are stacks blindingly scarlet. Why haven't mine yet???????

Lovely pics Erick. Amazes me when people in cooler (colder not better) say there's no autumnal colours around, we get some lovely browns and golds around here.

Looks really good Erick, was it somewhere in Mount Cotton?

I love winter here, lighting the wood burner at night and snuggling up in my fleecy robe and ugg boots, then during the day sitting outside enjoying a coffee in the sunshine - love it :yes:

Oh god, you don't have one of those ridiculous 'snuggie' things do you that people are supposed to wear out as a family to a sporting event? :lol: Sorry but do people actually buy them? I'd rather buy a PedEgg :lmao:

Apologies to anyone who has a snuggie or a pedegg :S

Yes. The Mt Cotton Rainforest Gardens on Mount View Rd.

But I think they are closing it at the end of July.

A thing you shave your hard skin off your feet with. All the shavings are kept safe in the container until you're ready to dump them in a bin :barf: Ring in the next 10 minutes and we'll send you two for the same price, along with a load of other battery powered nail file things. :crazy:

I have never been there either, am going to go very soon. I have been to Sirromet Winery for afternoon tea and that is lovely, great views from there too and wallabies jumping about everywhere. I wonder why the Rainforest Gardens place is closing down?

Lovely photos Eric. I wanted to go to Araluen gardens on Sunday but some people in my family are just too miserable. Knowing my luck it'll probably be raining this weekend.
