Today I am introducing you to Australia's most famous colonial artist, John Glover (1767-1849). In this photograph, and the one previously, I want to give you a look at what is now often called "Glover Country". A region he made popular through his landscape art. Of course in truth it has always been Palawa country. The ancestral homelands of a small, but proud group of indigenous people. I told you something of their story in the photograph "Our Country".
But in this landscape we stand on the Deddington Road and are looking back towards the little hamlet of Blessington in the foothills of Ben Lomond (turapina).

The enterprising farmer here has decided to put some old tractor tyres and a trailer to creative use. Why not create a little ad hoc sculpture in a paddock by the road? Now that surely adds to the landscape doesn't it?

North of Arthur River we come to the little town of Marrawah (population 131). It is the furthest settlement from the southern capital of Hobart.
This is prime farming country. In fact it's at the heart of Cape Grim Beef country - generally regarded as a finest grass fed beef in Australia. This meat usually ends up on the tables of the best restaurants. In the distance, through the rain, we see the Woolnorth wind farm and Cape Grim itself.
Llyn Nantlle Uchaf is a small lake in Gwynedd at an altitude of about 98 meters. The shoreline of Llyn Nantlle Uchaf is approximately 2.539 Kilometers round and Llyn Nantlle Uchaf's depth is comparatively shallow.
Llyn Nantlle Uchaf is a freshwater lake.
If you enlarge this photograph you can see that a dead tree still provides a comfortable habitat for various birds and other animal specials. Here a number of Cockatoos are perched in its branches.
Yesterday I finished by showing you one end of the Little Blue Lake. This is the other end. This long narrow and deep lake is the result of water flooding the old tin mining digs which ceased operation in the 1980s. Since then much work has been done with re-forestation. The colour of the water (as I explained in the previous photograph) is a result of the minerals leaching from the granite gravels and the white kaolin clay. They are highly toxic, so no swimming here.

Κατά Ιωάννη κεφ. 10 (ι΄) στίχοι 1-42
>Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός.
1 Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ μὴ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τῶν προβάτων, ἀλλὰ ἀναβαίνων ἀλλαχόθεν, ἐκεῖνος κλέπτης ἐστὶ καὶ λῃστής·
2 ὁ δὲ εἰσερχόμενος διὰ τῆς θύρας ποιμήν ἐστι τῶν προβάτων.
3 Τούτῳ ὁ θυρωρὸς ἀνοίγει, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκούει, καὶ τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα καλεῖ κατ' ὄνομα καὶ ἐξάγει αὐτά.
4 Καὶ ὅταν τὰ ἴδια πρόβατα ἐκβάλῃ, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν πορεύεται, καὶ τὰ πρόβατα αὐτῷ ἀκολουθεῖ, ὅτι οἴδασι τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ·
5 ἀλλοτρίῳ δὲ οὐ μὴ ἀκολουθήσωσιν, ἀλλὰ φεύξονται ἀπ' αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασι τῶν ἀλλοτρίων τὴν φωνήν.
6 Ταύτην τὴν παροιμίαν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τίνα ἦν ἃ ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς.
7 Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα τῶν προβάτων.
8 Πάντες ὅσοι ἦλθον πρὸ ἐμοῦ, κλέπται εἰσὶ καὶ λῃσταί· ἀλλ' οὐκ ἤκουσαν αὐτῶν τὰ πρόβατα.
9 Ἐγώ εἰμι ἡ θύρα· δι' ἐμοῦ ἐάν τις εἰσέλθῃ, σωθήσεται, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται καὶ ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ νομὴν εὑρήσει.
10 Ὁ κλέπτης οὐκ ἔρχεται εἰ μὴ ἵνα κλέψῃ καὶ θύσῃ καὶ ἀπολέσῃ· ἐγὼ ἦλθον ἵνα ζωὴν ἔχωσι καὶ περισσὸν ἔχωσιν.
11 Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός. ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλὸς τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τίθησιν ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων·
12 Ὁ μισθωτὸς δὲ καὶ οὐκ ὢν ποιμήν, οὗ οὐκ εἰσὶ τὰ πρόβατα ἴδια, θεωρεῖ τὸν λύκον ἐρχόμενον καὶ ἀφίησι τὰ πρόβατα καὶ φεύγει· καὶ ὁ λύκος ἁρπάζει αὐτὰ καὶ σκορπίζει τὰ πρόβατα.
13 Ὁ δἑ μισθωτὸς φεύγει, ὅτι μισθωτός ἐστι καὶ οὐ μέλει αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν προβάτων.
14 Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ποιμὴν ὁ καλός, καὶ γινώσκω τὰ ἐμὰ καὶ γινώσκομαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἐμῶν,
15 καθὼς γινώσκει με ὁ πατὴρ κἀγὼ γινώσκω τὸν πατέρα, καὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου τίθημι ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων.
16 Καὶ ἄλλα πρόβατα ἔχω, ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ταύτης· κἀκεῖνά με δεῖ ἀγαγεῖν, καὶ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούσουσι, καὶ γενήσεται μία ποίμνη, εἷς ποιμήν.

Lucky enough to catch these cloud reflections on Caban Coch reservoir this morning, Elan valley, Powys, Wales, UK
Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin and Quinag, Kylesku, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland, UK
Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin, or Loch Cairnbawn, is a sea inlet off Eddrachillis Bay on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands north of Ullapool. It was the site of the World War Two midget submarine training base, Port HHZ.
Quinag is an 808 m high mountain range in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands, with an undulating series of peaks along its Y-shaped crest. The name Quinag is an anglicisation of the Gaelic name Cuinneag, a milk pail, reflecting its distinctive shape.
Ellenabeich is the largest village on the island of Seil. And Seil, connected to the mainland by "The Bridge Over the Atlantic" is the most easily accessible of the Slate Islands, a dozen miles or so south of Oban.
Ellenabeich is mostly made up of long lines of white-harled workers cottages that on a sunny day make it gloriously attractive. However, the real story of Ellenabeich revolves around part of the village that is at first far from obvious. On the shoreward side of the village, immediately behind one of the rows of cottages, is what at first looks like an atoll, a large very roughly circular line of rock apparently enclosing an arm of the sea.
This can look like a harbour from a distance. Actually, it is all that remains of the slate quarry that led to Ellenabeich's growth. This was started by the Campbells of Breadalbane in 1745, and by 1842 new steam powered pumps meant that quarrying could take place to a depth of 250ft below sea level, in a vast pit separated from the sea by just a narrow wall of rock.
At the height of the industry in the 1870s the combined output of the quarry at Ellenabeich and those on Easdale Island filled ten steamers each week that called at the specially built pier in the channel between Seil and Easdale (of which, today, only a collection of posts remain). It was justly claimed that, together with the nearby islands of Luing and Belnahua, these were "the islands that roofed the world".
A storm in 1881 breached the wall around Ellenabeich's quarry and it was inundated by the sea. Fortunately no one was in it at the time. As the slate here was nearing exhaustion in any case, this spelled the end of slate quarrying in Elleneabeich and the several hundred jobs it provided. The same storm badly damaged some of Easdale Island's quarries, but these were pumped out and reopened, to survive in production for another thirty years.
Today's Ellenabeich has a timeless quality. The quarry is much as it was left in 1881, while the village itself seems little changed in over a century. Today, though, it is more a place for people to escape the bustle of Oban or places further afield, and where you come to catch the small ferry to Easdale Island.

Cycling is a popular pastime in Tasmania. Tasmania has also produced a number of world class road cyclists, most recently Tour de France rider Richie Porte.
