#Thunderstormasthma warning for #northVictoria #centralVictoria, #Gippsland regions.
Victoria's chief health officer says there is a high risk of epidemic thunderstorm asthma in parts of regional Victoria.
Thunderstorm asthma is when high amounts of grass pollen and a certain type of thunderstorm combine and can cause large numbers of people to develop asthma symptoms.

#Fosterville #GoldMine won't change methods despite sparking #earthquake.
Residents who live near the mine say frequent earthquakes rock their homes and have damaged properties before.
Kath and Wayne Bordieri have felt their home quiver and rock hundreds of times from underground blasting by a nearby mine outside of #Bendigo in #CentralVictoria. #auspol

The unexpected "bonus" of gale force winds is watching a chook hop / fly / get blown across the yard, trying to look like it simply doesn't care.

Melville Caves are located in #KooyooraStatePark, #Brenanah#Australia.
They’re located in #centralvictoria #Australia in a small township named #Brenanah.
Exploring the caves was truly amazing. And we even had some friendly locals drop by for a visit!
Fun Fact; These caves are named after notorious bushranger Captain Melville who used the caves as a hiding place and lookout in the mid 19th century.
Here are some pics from the day out 👇

These pics were taken on a road trip to #Centralvictoria, specifically #Colbinabbin, late December last year.
These magic scenes are just one collection of many throughout our State (and beyond), which have been affectionately dubbed #siloart.
This collection I believe is known as ‘THE COLBINABBIN FARMERS' PICNIC’, which depicts the locals of the district coming together back in the day, for an annual chance to relax and unwind!
I marvelled at these for some time. And must admit, was taken back to a different time to those we experience today.
The quality was superb and scale of these things; epic.

#MelvilleCaves are awesome!
Childhood memories of camping here came flooding back, by the river many moons ago, after visiting recently.
They’re located in #centralvictoria #Australia in a small township named #Brenanah.
Melville Caves are located in #KooyooraStatePark in, #Victoria.
If you’re local: a day trip is a must!
Even in the cooler months it’s glorious. And check out the moss covered boulders and rock formations!
Some are huge… up to 50 feet tall I reckon. May be of interest to some of our #mosstodon enthusiasts! And #lichensubscribe (thx @cohanf)
We managed to pick a clear day and took some awesome nature snaps. And I’ll feature inside the caves, in a second post!

This #butterfly knew I was close by… it only sat for a little while in this dry river bed before fluttering off.
Gorgeous.

When in the #bush a couple of weeks ago, this rustic and gnarled #gumtree attracted my attention.
Just had to share.
This #gum’s trunk and branches are unlike many, which range from flat and smooth, to thick layered bark surfaces.
This one is unique inasmuch as it appears to look like it has been twisted laterally, in places.
Zoom in to observe… and check out the #bark that is at different stages of undress.
Some trunk sections and limbs appear not to be shedding at all and has a rough texture. It was abrasive to the touch, for sure.
#nature at its very best. #love 🤎💚

A dry river bed in #Centralvictoria was teaming with #butterflies on this temperate but sunny morning.
They’d fly past and land.
But by the time I got close enough to picture them, they’d be off again.
Super aware, knew I was about… and their survival skills were on high-alert! 🚨

HELP!!!
Anyone know what this is?
I wanted to say #GladiolusCommunis and exclaim ‘#HelloPossums!!’
But I had a sneaking suspicion it could be something totally different.
And so too does my ID app… in fact it suggests anything from #Lobelia, #Montbretia, #CannaLily - and yes of course… #Gladiolus!
Google image search wanted to tell me it’s a gladdy… but you know what.. I’m not so sure.
Whatever it is, ‘twas snapped on my sisters farm in #Centralvictoria a few weeks back… deep red and it is happy as Larry.
Oh what the heck, I’ll just say it;
#HelloPossums!!!!

#Gumtree’s pre #sunset in #Centralvictoria #Australia a couple of weeks back.
The lowering sun hitting the trunks, branches and leaves illuminates the natural beauty of these iconic #Australian beauties.
I love the #Australian bush and all the colours and hues you observe at all times of the day.

A domestic #olivegrove consisting of a few hundred trees in #Centralvictoria #Australia… just after #dusk.
These will be ready to pick soon.
The trees will be subject to a machine that will ‘shake’ each of them one by one carefully (and with love!), so that the olives drop on a mat and scooped up into a hopper.
This machine is called a ‘shaker’, funny enough!
We’ve had many a year prior, with dozens of peeps from near and far coming to pick for a few hours over a weekend - and rewarded with a hearty spread, vino and cheer.
Loads of strangers turn up to participate.
Olives go off to a small processing plant nearby and come back as oil. Loads of rain last year which means a bumper crop this year.
This lot will yield between 1000 - 2000 litres this year I think…
Pretty cool!

Meet this critter, the #orbspider, scary looking, but she’s pretty harmless.
This is a female. They’re the big ones! Males are way-smaller in size.
I saw a heap of these (nearly walked into this one’s web) a week ago, along the #LoddonRiver in #Bendigo #australia.
Australian golden orb weaver:
Found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, northern New Zealand, and New Caledonia.
The female typically grows to around 40mm (1.5 inch), whereas males only reach around 7-10mm (quarter to a third of an inch) in length.
It’s web is normally over 1 metre in diameter. Once built, it never leaves its web.
They’re harmless and not poisonous to humans.
Its main predators are birds and parasitic wasps.
Breeds throughout late summer and autumn, and produces an average of 380 eggs.
The tiny males tie down the much larger females before mating, weaving silk threads over their abdomens.
Sexual cannibalism is relatively rare with this species, however up to 50% of males are cannibalised throughout the natural course of life (and whilst attempting to mate), as ‘prey’.
They’re an edible spider; considered a delicacy in New Guinea. They’re lightly roasted over an open fire. Ummm, no thanks 😳

Meet #MelaleucaRugulosa, aka scarlet #bottlebrush!
Its a plant in the myrtle family, and is home to South Australia and Victoria in #Australia.
These ones are growing in #Centralvictoria, namely #Bendigo.
Their red brush is vibrant, and the foliage was lush and green.
