Loose stones and spiky trees.....

 I spent the day yesterday getting my garden (read jungle) trimmed back a bit and was completely 'cream crackered' (read exhausted) by the end of the day, so it was a hot shower and into bed with a couple of pain killers ..sore back, sore knee..such fun getting old haha!! Anyhoo today's another day and there will be no physical activity going on except typing..! Although Aimee and I often walk by the coast, we like to do a bit of  bush walking too and as you can see the trails can be really quite tricky with lots of loose stones and uneven track, you really have to keep your eyes peeled for pot holes to avoid a twisted ankle. It's very worth it though, walking through the bush is an enjoyable experience. One of the better known Australian trees is the Banksia with it's flowering spikes and fruiting cones....The flowers produce a lot of nectar so are a vital food supply in the bush, as the spikes age and fall off the cones that are left, usually stimulated by bushfire, eject the seed.....

The other well known Australian bush plant is the Grass Tree (formerly known as the Black Boy, it's now considered politically incorrect to use this name). If you're lucky you might even find the odd bench along the trail, which comes in handy from time to time....Another week begins, Hopefully it'll be a good one.....!
