Twig and the river
I think I took this shot while we were at Trentham Estate Winery - the lawns spread down to the river banks - and I had fun focussing on this twig.

The rivers edge
Such a peaceful spot watching birds skidding to a stop on the river. You can see one having a swim.

The little bridge
I had fun walking over the little bridge and around the little paths and over the stepping stones of the pool at the resort we stayed in during our week in Mildura.

Architecture in the swimming complex
I can imagine these pools filled with swimmers in the hot weather, it really is a lovely setting - with little fountains & trickles of water into the pool and really nice water plants and stretches of green lawn for the minders & sun bathers.

Swimming pool...
At the resort where we were staying for the week was this beautifully designed swimming pool. It was far too cool to test the waters, besides there was a heated indoor pool if one felt inclined for a swim.

Sunlight through the trees
Later in the afternoon when the sun was 1-hour off setting. I took this shot from the lawns of Trentham Estate Winery. You can see a pelican swimming away from me...

A reconstructed station homestead
Set in the Inland Botanic Park and fenced in with a pretty garden. It was near closing time when we visited the park so we didn't really find out what the homestead is used for. Maybe its for coffee and teas when they have a group visiting the park.

On the trail
One of the many views we had as we traipsed around the pathway on the trail through the Inland Botanic Park. You should have seen & heard all the birdlife happening!

A strange looking seedhead maybe?
This odd looking plant had the tiniest blooms which I had to search for, but this cluster of buds or seeds caught my eye.

Hibiscus
In the yard of the reconstructed station house in the grounds of the Inland Botanic Park.

Native buttercup
We found clumps of these growing along the trail in the Inland Botanic Park.

Micromyrtia
At least, that's what I think it is. There wasn't a label. Its a tiny plant with flowers no larger than 1-cm. We discovered it in flower on a trail in the Inland Botanic Park.
