Merry Christmas and all that.

So it's over for another year. Brisbane was a cool, overcast 27° (Perth was 41°!)

We went the 'cold' option with meats & smoked trout and salads - but with Christmas pudding after - plus a bit of wine & port.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Off to the Burgess household for Boxing Day leftovers then up to Maleny to cut the grass.

Tree Hugging a Wollemi Pine

We've just been given a Wollemi Pine by our Maleny Neighbours, Neil & Jane.

The pine was only discovered in 1994 west of Sydney and only 100 trees exist in the wild.

This little beauty has been put near the front of our property and should be about 20 m. high in 40 years. It's quite an elegant thing and even has it's own website at;     WollemiPine.com
