Great Southern Land

Took this picture yesterday afternoon. Is out the back of Simon's place, with his little dog. 

It's so peaceful. No noise at all of traffic. Just a breeze blowing through the trees and birds singing. Has been cold at night, only 3 degrees again last night and we had the fire on again. But today will be 21 (C), pretty good for the end of winter.

Had a beer at the local pub yesterday, and they had the telly on with music. This song came on, very apt I thought for the area. Icehouse, from 1982:

 
I've liked that song for years. There's such a sense of timelessness about the land out here, you can almost feel how ancient it is. ."..... hidden in the summer for a million years..... " It's very hard to explain without somebody being out here to feel it in the same way.
