10/28/2006: "The beauty of Spring in Tasmania"

Yes, it's late Spring here, it's Australia and IT'S SNOWING! Thanks Mandy for sending in this still from our webcam (yep it's me enjoying the wild weather )

Tasmania is such a great island to live on, and probably the only State in Australia you 'll capture a view like this on the webcam in late October! Summer is just 5 weeks away! Earlier this week Ruby and I were sitting around on a hot day at her bush block, playing some guitar and stuff and talking about the high bushfire danger that had been declared.

Unfortunately despite this cold snap, it won't do much to wet down an otherwise tinder dry Tasmania. There has been so little rain, and for us folks on the land the down side of the sudden cold is that the frost is killing off fruit and other new spring crops. But that's life! Hopefully got some good photo's of the snowfall and I'll pop them online soon... all our best to everyone - Kip and Ruby.
