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.

The image was taken on a dark and very windy day... this is really a very windy place:-)
Tasmania - Australia
A rich tapestry of early Tasmanian history is encapsulated at Brickendon. It displays a story of the Archer family, of assigned convicts and free workers and the beginnings of Australia's pastoral and agricultural industry.
Brickendon is one of Tasmania's oldest farming properties, settled in 1824 by William Archer, the farm has been continuously operated and lived on by his direct descendents, now in their 7th generation.
In July 2010, Brickendon Estate along with its neighbouring property, Woolmers Estate were listed jointly as a World Heritage Site being part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property.
The two Estates are regarded as the most significant rural estates in Australia having the second largest number of convict workers and still retaining a living history from early European settlement to the present day.
The stunning rural landscape, magnificent heritage gardens, amazing collection of convict constructed buildings, family history and memorabilia are all to be enjoyed by visitors and cottage guests.
As Marg has 10 convict ancestors, including 2 First Fleeters, as well as Marine Corps and early free settlers (in Sydney, Norfolk Island and then Tasmania) visiting Brickendon for us was an extraordinary opportunity of discovery and deeply-felt connection with her roots.
Part of the Bay of Fires, this area is renowned for its amazing rock structures with colourful lichen, white sandy beaches and clear blue-green water. The pelican was a bonus!
Gordon River, Tasmania
Wilderness as far as you can see, and yet there are species here that rely on the survival an individual insect species for pollination. the relationship between temperature, flowering and pollination makes survival precarious. some of the trees are are over 2000 years old. what will this look like in 2000 years? Will anyone even notice?

In last summer, it was quite dry and hence the water veils were quite thin.
