Many people reckon that autumn is the best season in Narrabri. I tend to agree as the worst of the summer heat has gone and the unpleasant winter cold is yet to come.

After a long dry spring and summer, everything seems to be responding to the cool and wet conditions. Flowers are blooming, insects are buzzing and gardens are looking great.

Here are some photos from my afternoon walk around my yard.

I love these bright orange fungi slowly devouring the old tree stump.

These bushes are covered in blue and yellow flowers.

Vincas thrive on neglect and just keep flowering and growing.

Native rosemary is in bloom.

These things are drought hardy and just keep going ,then flower at the first chance after rain.

Good old petunias just keep going and going. I do need to buy some more as we lost a lot over summer, but for annuals they certainly live for a long time!
