V8 @1 lIt seems winter has come early to HK and Taiwan, that might mean spring may arrive early too.  Here are some of the snapshots I took a couple of months ago at Blue Mountain, its about two and a half hour drive from Sydney; on a beautiful sunny day.  All the flowers were blooming beautifully.

Long ago in the Blue Mountains there lived three little Aboriginal sisters. They were Meenhi, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, whose Witch Doctor father was called Tyawan.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb9 q+ d. y6 U1 j# P( O8 B7 p5 ?5 g

Only one creature was feared by all – the Bunyip who lived in a deep hole. When Tyawan had to pass the hole, he would leave his daughters safely on the cliff behind a rocky wall. One day, waving goodbye to his daughters, he descended the cliff steps. On top of the cliff a big centipede suddenly appeared and frightened Meehni, who threw a stone at it. The stone rolled over the cliff and crashed into the valley.% T' F) E: E. k1 f

The angry Bunyip emerged to see the terrified sisters. In the valley, Tyawan saw the Bunyip close to his daughters, so he pointed his magic bone at the girls and turned them to stone. The Bunyip then chased Tyawan, who found himself trapped, so he changed himself into a Lyre Bird. Everyone was safe, but Tyawan had dropped his magic bone. After the Bunyip had gone, Tyawan searched and searched for his bone – and he is still searching.5.39.217.776 h; G& s7 ]4 i4 ~8 f1 u) B" I
