The theme this week at Our BeautifulWorld is Woodland.
I love going out into the bush, particularly after rain. I just love the smell then, it's so beautifully fresh.
Have a lovely weekend and thank you for
visiting.
I live in a coastal area where there isn’t
much woodland. So on the way to visiting
my mother I took a slight detour to the small historic town of Steiglitz. The town was one of the richest goldfields in
Victoria but today it is a virtual ghost town.
It’s in the beautiful Brisbane ranges and is surrounded by bush.
My husband is very interested
in this topic. He is an historian and has written on industries in some forest in Victoria. I asked if he would mind sharing some of his
photos and he obliged. Some of these photos are his and some
are historic
This photo shows the bed of an old tram track
This is after a bushfire in the Wombat
Forest. Most of these trees will grow
back.

Hello Skye, the Aussie bush is just wonderful...the gums and the eucalyptus smells and then as spring comes the wattle...thank you and your hubby for sharing these lovely photos with Our Beautiful World, cheers Robyn
ReplyDeleteThank your husband for allowing you to share those photos. The historic ones are so interesting too! Fire can be so devastating, but is also a "wait for it" event. The beauty and restoration that happens reminds us in our own devastating fires of life that return to health can happen. I will wish it for your Wombat forest. So glad to have found you through Our Beautiful World.
