It seems odd that you are saying winter in combination of these wonderful photos you shared in the post. That is not the winter I know, but for you Aussies I guess it counts :)

Oh the asshole and bastard weeds cracked me up and yet they are indeed kind of nice looking weeds even though mostly deadly.

Awesome hike. I did my walk in the morning around the lake and the forest. I was almost eaten alive by gadflies so I was forced walking quite quickly xD
