This 'Aussie Christmas tree' photo is doing the rounds again - usually without attribution.
It was taken by Layn Simpson of Gympie - in his backyard.
An excellent snap.
I have an invitation to visit next time I'm in Gympie so I'll look forward to that.
You can find Layn on Instagram. Worth a follow.

Gaza has changed the West forever. It has demonstrated its dearth of a conscience. Its hypocrisy. Its sadism. And we will never fully recover from bearing witness to an unthinkable crime to which our leaders gave their full stamp of approval.
