Mt Vic Mist @ Winter Magic Festival 2007

A promenade on a fine winter's day, such as was to be had in the Blue Mountains Australia this Winter Magic Festival, can bring forth chance encounters of dandies and chaps. Taking the air in the fresh Katoomba morning an intrepid mountains hiker met a sartorial explorer. The exchange was an admirable agreement to venture deeply without fear and in high spirits into the riches of this splendid day.

Come on up, the water is lovely !

The June rains have replenished the soil with long awaited top ups. The Forest is greening up. Ferns rising from charcoal shards and blackened soil. The creeks are flowing amazingly. It will be brief, this is Australia after all. But it is beautiful. The mountains smell so delectable.
