Juste avant l'ouverture du tunnel du "Katzenberg" en décembre 2012 une circulation emprunte encore la ligne classique entre Bad Bellingen et Eimeldingen. Un EC surpris juste après Bad Bellingen dans le vignoble badois.
Urunga is a small coastal town in New South Wales, Australia.The town is south of Coffs Harbour and Sawtell and north of Nambucca Heads.
Urunga is a great fishing spot with bream being the main sport fish.
The Urunga boardwalk, leads out to the beach.

The view from our deck at the Promised Land Retreat in Bellingen a couple of weeks ago. What a stunning spot! I miss the mountains and the mist.
Op 17 april had ik even de mogelijkheid om tot in Beert-Bellingen te rijden.
Daar is namelijk aan het vroegere station een talud gesnoeid waardoor een nieuw zicht wordt gegeven op lijn 94. Spijtig genoeg voor mij liet de zon het wel afweten vanaf een uur of zes, al had ik dan wel weer geluk twee grafiitivrije Desiro-treinstellen op foto te krijgen.
Uit ervaring weet ik dat je nooit te lang mag wachten na een grondige snoeibeurt, binnen de kortste keren staat alles terug hoog genoeg om foto's onmogelijk te maken.

I suspect that my wife is in that there OP Shop, she's never been known to pass one without just popping in!
Muston Park North Willoughby, suburban Sydney. A planted tree, probably from the 1880s. 25 metres tall.
This is an abundant species in the sub tropical rainforests of the north of the state of New South Wales. Usually found in lower altitudes on soils of an moderate to good fertility.
The distribution is between Bellingen in New South Wales and Gladstone in Queensland. There are other varieties of this species further north in the tropics.
Though there is a single tree growing near Paterson, further south in the Hunter region. Possibly indigenous (not planted by white man). It's situated between the Paterson road and Tocal road, on the way from Maitland to Paterson.
The botanist L.A.S Johnson noted on this individual tree: "Mr D'Ombrain writes (12 Sept 1933): The T. trifoliolata is the only one that I can find in the area...and cannot find any history of [it]...it may have grown there and just been left standing for its splendid shade".
The species first entered scientific literature in 1858, published by Ferdinand von Mueller. Eventually his "Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae" had some two thousand plants. The first specimens of the White Booyong were collected from the Pine River and Brisbane River. The baron wrote the entire document in latin.
In the rainforest, White Booyong may be noticed by the relatively pale, cylindrical trunk and heavily buttressed base. Another feature is the pale underside to the leaves. A large tree, growing up to 45 metres in height. With a thick base, sometimes exceeding two metres across.
In the 19th and early 20th century, uncountable thousands of these trees were killed and burnt for land clearance. The timber is of use. The botanist A.G. Floyd writes; the straight grain is similar to the Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta). The timber is dark brown to red. Good for indoor work, lining, flooring, turnery and cabinet work.
At Davis Scrub, near Alstonville there's many White Booyongs growing in a small area. One has a full healthy canopy of leaves. But some dark patterns of termite trails. Presumably the tree is OK, and the insects are after dead wood only. Here's a picture.
Leaves form in threes, hence the specific epithet trifoliolatum. The underside is a silvery or metallic coppery colour. The three leaves in situ have got me confused. Thinking the plant was in the Rutaceae. But this is no citrus. Booyong is now in the mallow family (Malvaceae).
In the summer months, thousands of seeds spin down to the earth. The fruit is in the form of a samara, a round seed with a long wing. They are attractive, the colour of gold and appealing to children. Kids like to throw them into the air, and watch them spin to the ground. The seeds germinate easily.
One of the bird species that eat the seeds is the Brush Turkey. In this suburban park, there is a population of these birds and they would certainly eat them.
Here's a picture of my left hand and seeds from this same tree at Willoughby. Eventually, seedlings grew and were given to "Black Diamond" who had them planted out.
Muston Park is named after William Thomas Muston, the original owner of the land and Mayor of Willoughby in 1890. His home ‘Penshurst’ stood in the middle of the land which was subdivided and sold in 1921.
A long way from suburban Willoughby is a village, named after this tree. Booyong is situated in an area of the former Big Scrub. Not too far from Byron Bay and Lismore, up in the sub-tropics.
Opposite the school at Booyong is an impressive sub tropical rainforest remnant, named Booyong Flora Reserve.
The White Booyong is common here, and there's a small but beautiful double trunked tree of this type beside the walking track.
Nieuwe dienstregeling 2015. Waar vroeger 21'ers met M4-rijtuigen het grootste deel van de IC's tussen Schaarbeek en Moeskroen verzorgden, wordt sinds de nieuwe dienstregeling van 14 december 2014 ander materieel gebruikt, namelijk AM 96-stellen en trek/duw-treinen samengesteld uit één (of twee) locs van de reeks 18 met M6-rijtuigen.
Jullie zien hier IC 1933 door het landelijke Beert komen, met een vertraging van 10 minuten op de teller, veroorzaakt door een "probleem tijdens de vorige rit van de trein".
Het lussen van deze trein doorheen de diaboloverbinding en Brussel-Luchthaven verloopt blijkbaar toch niet zo vlot als verhoopt, het is niet de eerste keer dat ik moet opmerken dat vertraging die werd opgelopen tijdens het eerste deel van de reis tussen Mons en de luchthaven wordt doorgegeven tijdens het tweede deel van de rit.

We were just driving down this road, when i spotted this mother koala and her joey in the gum tree about 10 metres from the roadway.
Unfortunately due to bushfires and human activities like logging, the iconic Koala is under severe threat of existence.
