| Winter in Drouin - grey skies, leafless Platanus trees and currawongs |
“Because the birdsong might be pretty,
But it's not for you they sing,
And if you think my winter is too cold,
You don't deserve my spring.”
- Erin Hanson

“Finally, it was cold enough to wear long coats and tights.
It was cold enough for scarves and shirts worn in layers, like camouflage. It
was cold enough for her lucky red cardigan. The cold was such a relief.”
- Sarah Addison Allen

arrives, is the more gratefully received.”
- Beatriz Williams

“It seems like everything sleeps in winter, but it's really
a time of renewal and reflection.”

| Silver Wattle at Labertouche Ck Bushland Reserve |
Noses are red
Fingers are blue
I’m tired of winter
How about you?

| Won't be long -Galahs, King Parrots and Sulphur-crested Cockatoos are using hollows at Picnic Point |
Also on a brighter note, there hasn’t been any flies or mozzies for weeks!
