Winter in Brisbane isn't exactly onerous. We get about ten frigidly cold days (generally when there is snow on the mountains about 4 hours drive south of us), a month of cold, dry winds and that's about it. The days are sunny, the nights are cool.
The farm is at a higher elevation, and often dips into the minus temperatures with frost, and occasionally we get sleet. But we've missed out on winter at the farm this year because of border closures. I've tried to wait this last one out, but it looks like it will be prolonged, so I'm off to apply for an exemption. Hopefully I'll get down there again in enough time to use the fireplace. And to see some newborn calves that always arrive end of August. This is our social distancing walking path which goes to the acreages. If you scroll in, you can see the tips of the sky-scrapers in Brisbane city. We live at the city end of this road, and this was taken at sunset. There are koalas and kangaroos out here, and we spend a fair amount of time trying to spot them. No luck today... |
