A day of protest, police, chainsaws and woodchips sees nine Morteon Bay figtrees removed from Anzac Parade at the point where the cut and cover tunnel will intersect the busy arterial road.
Although discussion apparently got heated at times, the constable I chatted to indicated no problems during the day.
When I planned my Zimfest 2001 tour there were two working 20th Class Garratts available, I asked if we could use both of them on a double headed mixed train from Bulawayo to Plumtree, they would then split and return to Bulawayo as a passenger and a goods train at time interval. The railway management agreed, and chose to run a test train to Plumtree with both locomotives a short time before the festival.
This was the last time a revenue freight worked with a 20th Class, considering that the Zimfest 2001 train was a charter and was the last time the 20th Class Garratts worked in Zimbabwe.
Not surprisingly, I chase that train by car.
I saw them ripen in April in South Tyrol, now I ate some

In 1848 a Silesian farmer, Franz Weickert gathered together a group of people interested in forming a new community free of religious persecution in South Australia. Weckert financed the voyage for many of the people and he obtained the services of a Father Kranewitter, a Jesuit brother and two others called Schriener and Sadler. They took up land at Sevenhill near Clare and called the local stream the Tiber (after the River in Rome) and the place, Sevenhill after the seven hills of Rome. Franz Weckert never recovered his money from the settlers and died a poor man at Sevenhill in 1875. The three Jesuits erected a building on their land and established the first Catholic seminary in Australia. Local Catholics contributed substantially to Jesuit funds after their return from the Victorian goldfields and the first church was finished in 1856. The current church was a later structure that was started in 1861. The Catholic Polish community of nearby Polish Hill River also contributed to the new church. It was officially opened in November 1866. A crypt was constructed underneath the church, for the burial of the Jesuit fathers.
Over the next few years the college was constructed, clearly with plans for further additions, which never occurred. The foundation stone for the college was laid in 1868 and the college was completed by 1871 when press advertising for students began. Among the early students were Peter and Donald MacKillop, brothers of Mary MacKillop. The college was officially opened in 1875. It catered for around 40 students a year until it closed in 1885. Apart from the college and church, the Jesuit brothers brought the wine industry to the Clare Valley. They established the first vineyard of the district in 1851 (about the same time as the first vines were planted in the Barossa and also at Langhorne Creek).
Olympia refers to the ancient Greek sanctuary where the original Olympic Games were held, the modern town in Greece near this site.
The ancient site was a major religious center dedicated to Zeus, hosting the games from 776 BC to 393 AD.

The largest fig tree in the United States. The descriptive sign under the tree is shown here: flickr.com/photos/gem66/16309801/in/photostream/
The photo was taken in Santa Barbara, California, USA in the 1970's.
Jane and our guide, Benjamin, at the Figtree Arch. This arch is not cut out of the tree. It is the way the roots grew when the parasitic fig tree first grew around the host tree until its roots took hold and it strangled the host. Now only the fig tree remains.
Not my mother, obviously. But the mother of my children :)

Fig trees do not like snow and cold. Italian immigrants would plant fig trees in New York and then wrap them in tar paper, putting a bucket over the top, to help the trees survive the winter.
This used to be a common sight in and around New York City.
This was quilted using a walking foot and straight line quilting in the middle of each strip. I used two layers of Warm & White batting so it is heavy and warm. Love the result!

This large #figtree must be 100's of years old. There are several big ones along the #waterfront here.

Anyone who has visited Kangaroo point on the Brisbane river will know this fig tree, although maybe not in this light.
I had been shooting the setting sun from underneath the canopy of this old weeping fig when I turned around and noticed the way the light was picking out the trunk and highlighting all the twisted, contorted roots.
The light was too good to resist, so I abandoned the original shot and end up with this instead!

Water entering Raintrees from neighbouring upstream properties flows under Figtree Drive culvert and through our property exiting under a culvert across Panorama Drive at Diamond Beach.
This is the upstream culvert which sees water enter the property, often at great velocity. The force of the water here in March 2020 moved large rocks that I'd placed on the edges of the creek in an effort to reduce erosive scouring of the creek banks below the culvert.
Those rocks remain in a pile across the creek about 5 metres downstream and act currently like a set of rapids in heavy flows. Ultimately the only solution I see is to concrete them in place however hard edges act to increase stream velocity and damage just moves further downstream. It's a problem I'll address at some stage subject to costs.
Ultimately the water flows through Raintrees into a feeder creek which then flows into Moor Creek before flowing on into Khappinghat Creek. It then travels through Khappinghat Nature Reserve, into Saltwater National Park, then to the ocean at Wallabi Point.
