Spring in Canberra
Well, yellow anyway, even if not a submarine.
Perhaps a certain "Coldplay" song title was more relevant today!
This Australian wattle tree is in our backyard, outside our lounge room window.
The wattle is the Australian National floral emblem, and its colours, green and gold, are our national colours.
There are not many rhymes for "wattle" so it doesn't feature in any national songs. Monty Python tells it best:
This here's the wattle
The emblem of our land
You can stick it in a bottle
You can hold it in your hand.
Amen!
Falconer grandchildren (continued)
Jarod Falconer
Kayleigh Falconer
All ten grandchildren have so much potential it is scary.
And none of them are called Bruce.
