Panorama of The Berry Farm |
||
The Berry Farm, located south of Margaret River, has been producing jams, preserves, fruit wines and liqueurs since 1986. The adjacent Cottage Cafe is set within a shady cottage garden and is a popular tourist stop for visitors to the region.
The garden is home to a population of local birds that aren't shy about stealing jam and cream from the tables. Many are tame enough to eat out of your hand. The guy in the blue shirt has a New-Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae) doing just that.
A nice place to stop for lunch when riding around the bush. A small river crossing on Great West Road...

There are no kangaroos in Austria.
We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in!
Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.
This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.
The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself!Text by Steve Smith.
