    It's very beautiful. If you see it in person, it's stunning. The smell of the flowers is everywhere.

    I see it every year, lately on t.v. Some years are in my opinion better than others. This year wasn't one of my favorites, but last year was very lovely.

  • I'll drop a hint.   Your special moments are captured forever because of my hometown. Oh and we bolted onto your muscle car too. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at January 16, 2017 3:13 PM MST

  • My town is unusual in being located wholly within a national park. Here's an aerial pic that'll give you the idea:

    Sweet
    what kind of wild animals are there,
    while you live right in the middle of them?
    It doesn't look like rattlesnake country.

  • No rattlesnakes in Oz but in our area we have brown snakes and death adders. They're deadly enough for me. We also have wallabies, kangaroos (occasionally see one when we walk the dog in the early morning but they're fairly shy), the occasional wombat, echidnas, lyre birds, and at dawn on Chrismas Day we were lucky enough to see a platypus which had been sitting on the bank but leapt into the river as we approached. There's a veritable rainbow of cockatoos, parrots and parakeets, lots of more common birds, and we often wake in the morning to the sound of kookaburras.

    I remember one winter walking to the railway station very early. I was still in shade but high above 30 or so pink-and-grey galahs were playing in the sunshine as the sun rose over the hill. It was one of those beautiful moments you never forget.

  • One of the characters in my novel had a mystical didgeridoo he always called his didge. I borrowed it from him.
