York road trip.. Dreamtime story.



Above a panaoramic view looking down to York from the lookout atop Mt. Brown, or Walwalling, 'the place of weeping' to the Nyungar people .. looking across to Mt. Bakewell, Wongborel, 'the sleeping woman' last shot. As in many a great love story the wide divide did not stop the love between Wundig, a handsome young warrior of the hill people and Wilura a beautiful young girl from the valley people, but once more, as in most forbidden love stories it sadly has a tragic ending, read below. Check out the difference in the colours of the landscape between spring in the country here and now in summer, incroyable oui! Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. that was the last of the road trip.. until the next time :)

  9. Your seasonal contrasts are much like I knew in California (though without the canola blossoms). Either way, the countryside is beautiful.
    Dreamtime stories can be pretty brutal, can't they?

  10. It's a dramatic difference in the photos. Melbourne has gone from a lush looking green to a greyish brown colour where there is no watering. Pretty good views over the town and countryside.
