The Long Causeway is a medieval packhorse road known as the Long Causey or Long Causeway which runs west from Sheffield. Although it is widely believed that the Long Causeway follows the line of an ancient Roman road that ran from Templeborough Roman fort to the fort at Navio (Brough-on-Noe), archaeologists dispute this.
Logs washed up on the beach at the mouth of the Pieman River on the west coast of Tasmania. Back in the early days, when this area was first opened up and logged, the logs were floated down the river and loaded onto sailing ships which sailed down and around to Hobart. A very treachorous and dangerous journey indeed! Many a ship was lost trying to navigate the heads into the relative safety of the Pieman River. Today, if you know what you are looking for, you may be lucky enough to find a piece of the "coveted" huon pine.
The Bradford Pear, scientific name, Pyrus Calleryana, is an ornamental pear tree with small fruit approximately 1 cm in diameter. In North America the tree is often used in landscaping homes and businesses alike. The fruits, though popular with wildlife, are bitter and are not generally eaten by people. In recent years, it is thought the Bradford Pear has become invasive, growing in places where it was not planted. Beautiful white flowers in the Spring, and bright red leaves in the Fall make it a popular, if not problematic choice.

The people had the heart to make a house for the wild birds. A house on a house. There's even a nest on top of the birds' house..
