January, 2004 Mt Beauty Alien landscape [1] Life returns to the mountains [2] Mt Beauty [3] |
|
After the fires It's now 12 months since the mountains burned, and life is gradually returning. On the lower slopes where the fires were cooler, the blackened trunks sport lush new growth shooting out all over like a leafy green cloak. High in the hills at the back of Mt Beauty where the fires were at their most fierce the dead trees stand like silent sentinels. It is an alien landscape of blackened trunks, with ghostly white branches pointing to the sky, standing in a sea of green grasses and wildflowers. These dead trunks will never grow again, but from the base life starts to spring anew. | |

In response, the decidious trees gracing many Albury avenues and gardens have put on their autumn splendour. Brilliant reds, oranges and gold foliage can be seen down virtually every street. | |

Albury Airshow, March 10, 2002 at the Albury Airport, and the skies above. A marvelous static display of vintage, experimental, unusual and military aircraft was on show, allowing visitors up close to inspect and admire. The static display was followed by a breath-taking non-stop aerial show of skill and daring from the snappy aerobatics of Pip Boorhman's EDGE to the aerial precision of the Roulettes. It was a hot, dry, dusty, noisy and absolutely wonderful day! | |

Australia Day 2002 at Noreuil Park, Albury, Australia. The Albury City Band played to the gathered onlookers, punctuated at times by the steam driven whistle of the S.S. Cumberoona, and the raucous screeching of the sulphur crested cockatoos high up in the trees. A very Australian Australia Day :-) Photographed approx 10:00am, 26th January, 2002. | |
