Brisbane - rockface

After Midginbil Farm, we went to Brisbane, where I found this fascinating cutting:

Midginbil Hill Farm

We spent a delightful weekend at Midginbil Hill Farm in north-east New South Wales. The weather was warm and sunny (a pleasant change from the weather we'd been experiencing in Canberra in the previous week) and I enjoyed wandering around and snapping things that caught my attention.

Banksia

Budding staghorn fern (I think)

Fungi

We have had over 200mm of rain in the past week. In fact, by 8am on 1 March, we had received the average rainfall for the month - and there's been a lot more since. We went out for a walk this afternoon when it stopped raining and found lots of interesting mushrooms/toadstools (I can't remember the difference between them).
