Mid winter is the time for my Magnolia stellata to start flowering.This small tree along with Camellias, Jonquils and now Hyacinths make the garden a lovely place to be on these cold but bright days.
Or even the recent, record breaking, 23 degree C midwinter day!
Such a high temperature for winter but preferable to the 40 degrees plus in summer.
The Australian Financial Review gave a succinct article on the state of Carbon policies following the Rudd ascendancy to Federal Politics and the current outpouring of policy 'changes'. Its a pity there is a paywall with all Fairfax newspapers meaning its no use linking to it, but look in your local library for "Up in the air" by Geoff Winestock and Marcus Priest, plus Alan Mitchell's "Risks in Rudd's European union", pages 14 & 15 20-21 July 2013 Perspective pages.
PS I have ordered a couple of copies of the new book "Killing Fairfax" by Pamela Williams for the library - should be a good read even though the papers are not dead, yet!
