Here's one good reason. In spring the wildflowers are out and it's something else...

Lol, Renth, that's "Poverty Jane", so named because it grew like crazy in SA when nothing else would. Then it self-seeded over the border into WA, became a noxious weed and is known here as "Patterson's Curse".
I agree it's spectacular, but couldn't you have shown some of the gorgeous everlastings?

Makes a change from the normal Poms whining about how baked dry the whole of WA is, doesn't it? Thanks for the photo, I like it

Yeh, pretty, but Patterson's Curse has been destroying pastoral land in NE Vic & SE NSW for decades. They despise it up there

We saw loads of that stuff up at Whiteman's Park today - reminded me of lavender.

By the way - weather was great today!

Bit too hot though.

And dry.

Not like a good English summer's day.
