If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.

As Australia stumbles in the ashes series in England (metaphor anyone?), Kym and I thought we might venture down south to see how the
local ashes of the summer have recovered. Turning right at Geeveston, we walked into the burnt forest and were amazed to see that six months later the burnt out area is doing very well - green bits shooting everywhere and the rich earthy smell of spring seeping from the ground into the air.
Our hearts were gladdened by the sights, smells and sounds of a very much alive bush. Retiring for a soothing cup of tea and vanilla slice at the local bakery, it was a nice trip to restore our mood and set us up for a fecund season of growth and renewal.

| Pretty nice in the middle of the forest - no shops though :( |

| A vanilla slice cures practically anything |
