The change of another season.

Yet another transition from summer to winter in the cloudy depths of the great Sherbrooke Forest. The temperature has noticeably decreased, and the days unfortunately seemingly shorter. The renowned fog is starting to roll in on the icy cold mornings, along with the familiar smell of red gum burning, smoke wafting out of the stone chimney of a warm timber house. Some strange and missed birds have reappeared after the long, hot summer. The Kookaburra comically swooping down to the front lawn in search of worms from the moist, rich soil.  Grass has turned from a stale brown complexion, into an incredibly green, vibrant and attractive colour, thanks to the vast amounts of rainfall received in the recent 'wintery' months. The change of season has allowed the forest to relax from the harsh Australian sun, and to stop focussing on the conservation of water and alternatively grow and flourish. The iconic enormous tree ferns, along with many other native species have gained back their 'green' colour. Various deciduous species such as the Oak Trees found along some of the main roads of the forests have turned a fantastic bright orange colour, in preparation for their leaves to slowly float down to the footpaths of small town's. The native flowering trees are of course in preparation to flower, and will provide an absolutely beautiful landscape when in flower in a few months time!
