What amazing photos. I love the history, but it's so sad that the nursery became rubble. Those fire lilies are so pretty. I used to have some of them years ago. It's nice that the family started a new nursery, hopefully in a much better location. Glad you enjoyed your hike.

Australia can be brutal; Floods and fires cause destruction and chaos, but we endure and thrive at times. There's a term, Aussie Grit, which refers to tenacity, hard work, determination and the refusal to give in to adversity. I think it's changing now with the influx of people from all over the place, but to live here means to accept the beauty and brutality of the land.

It was a nice hike...I'm thinking of doing a post on the new Newman's Nursery at some stage, that'll be cool right? They have a pretty swish café there and do high tea and all...I'll have to break out my tuxedo. Lol.
