Snapshots From My Downunder Garden

Just updating what’s been going on at my place during our Spring. October is our mid-Spring month and it’s also six months into our dry season. We’ve had some spectacular sunrises and sunsets during Springtime so far. All that colour makes up for the brown parched bushland that’s all around us at the moment.
To see what’s been in bloom in my dry tropics garden, just click on the following link -

I have just enjoyed a wander around your garden Bernieh, I know you suffered a lot in that cyclone and have lots to sort out but the way some shrubs and plants recover is really amazing, I was gobsmacked to see your poor borders under that scaffolding but I s`pose its a case of needs must and your house has got to be fixed, preferably as you say asap.
Are the Wallabies struggling to find their usual food or is it a case of they like your plants better ??? to me the photo is a delight to see but I can well imagine how I`d feel if it was my plants and garden being chewed up..
Pleased to hear from you again and thankyou for sharing your beautiful garden with us....Take care Sue ...

Glad you could visit and enjoyed the look around, Lincslass. The poor shrubs underneath all that scaffolding will recover but in the meantime it's heartbreaking to look at them every day.
I don't think this dry season has been any worse than any others we've experienced here, so lack of grass doesn't really explain why the wallabies have started munching on so many plants they've never touched before. Maybe they're just getting smarter!!

Well I'm so glad you popped by for a visit, Carol. How's your garden going? Are things winding down now?

Catching up. Sorry I am late. The deciduous Plumeria rubra is interesting and looks different. Would the Eucalyptus platyphilla be one of the best gums for your area? I like this one.

Heather, the Eucalyptus platyphylla is definitely one of the more common gum trees here in my particular corner of north-eastern Australia. The deciduous Plumerias are also very common little trees.
