Powered from new with a V8 Perkins, that is why the air cleaner and air intake is in the unusual place, at the rear of the cab, instead of the usual place of the air inlet mounted on the left mudguard and the air cleaner mounted inside the cab under the left side of the dashboard.

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.

It was good to see that one of Bristol's minor curiosities, the fig tree growing out of the side ot the Floating Harbour beneath what I still think of as Back of Bridge Street, still thrives. In fact there has, for many years, been a second, slightly smaller tree growing closer to Bristol Bridge. Reece Winstone, writing in the 1950s, describes it as "flourishing for over 200 years", and it is visible in photographs of the bomb-damaged mediaeval city taken from George's Brewery, on the opposite bank.
Anybody know what that concrete raft affair is? Old photos show the beautiful timber clubhouse of the Redcliff Rowing Club resting on such a structure and rising to street level. It was lost during the bombing and the Redcliffe club merged with Clifton in 1963. Corrugated iron seems an all too fitting replacement for our age.

Central Queensland to Southern NSW.
Out in the open Ficus macrophylla has a relatively compact rounded crown but in rainforest situation it can reach an enormous size,up to 50m high and a stem diameter of up to 240cm. While it can be grown directly in the ground it often starts its life high up in the canopy gradually enmeshing the host as its roots follow the host tree to the ground.
It has glossy lustrous leaves and develops massive flanged and irregularly wide buttresses to support its huge volume in shallow, sometimes waterlogged, soils.
The fruit varies with maturity from green through orange to purple when ripe and is edible but quite dry to taste.The fruit can appear at any time but generally Feb-May.

Jane and I 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.
A lot of ripe ones and plenty more on the way. I eat them from the inside out. I don't much like the taste of the skins, but still, it's nice to eat them right off the tree.
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.
