    Canberra in fall

    Thank you @Lynda2475, looks great, 8 days now. Not familiar with Canberra, where were the red trees in a row? Actually if you remember, the other areas would also be appreciated. Fingers continue to be crossed no covid, no lockdowns.

    Canberra in fall

    Many thanks @seat02b, I’m hoping there are still some trees in colour, still 13 days away. I live in fnq, enjoy moments of cold weather, change to tropical weather year round.
