Early summer, Tasmania

Saturday Self Challenge: Your weather

With Tasmania being the most southerly state, summers are milder than in other parts of Australia.

This was taken on a walk along country roads in north-west Tasmania. The white on the hillside is not snow, rather a crop of poppies.

Grown under very strict regulations, farms in Tasmania produce about 50% of the world's licit poppy straw that is later refined into opiates such as morphine and codeine.
