Remnant fruit trees lining the walkway
The last survivors of the experimental orchard that once operated on this farm still exist and line the Minno Creek and this new walkway which is set back from the main road. Its used by school children who walk or ride their bike home each day & by locals walking to bus stops or the local deli. The trees appear to be pear & plum mainly, and one plum tree had spring blossom and autumn leaves on its branches at the same time! I took a few photos of that and they'll follow in a day or so.

Oxalis and a flowing stream
This is the little Minno Creek and I took the photo from a walk-over bridge that the school children use. The bridge leads to an offroad pathway and into an obsolete experimental orchard, some of the trees are visible in this shot, noticeable by the sudden burst of colour amongst all the green.

Early winter colour
Elm trees that line the Sturt Creek alongside the vet's clinic still have a few leaves. The valley has been so beautiful this autumn/winter ~ we mostly drive through and don't even look.
