You are looking down a deep, wooded valley, with the tops of one or two Eucalyptus trees in the foreground. The sides of the valley are capped with sandstone cliffs. The Aurora Australis is emerging from the south-east (left of the photo), magenta in colour.

These shields are worn tightly under the armpit, slung over the shoulder with a rope, to protect the warrior's torso when using his bow. It is light and easy to maneuver. It is distinguished from the warrumbi shields of the same region by its carved "U" shaped structure at the top. These were used to protect the warrior's head. The anthropomorphic image is generally considered to be an ancestor, protecting the warrior. The red represents the color of victory (and also of revenge for the dead).

It's STILL raining here in the Southern Highlands, NSW! 🌧️🌧️🌧️ Even the magpies are soaking wet! And the creek that's usually a trickle of water is almost over the banks. Fingers crossed it stops soon 🤞

The suns out, but it's still very wet and cold here in the Southern Highlands 🌞💧The creek is still pretty full and there's puddles aplenty around - so some nice reflections 🪞

If you've listened to Frequencies Of The Southern Hemisphere, you might recognise these trees from the cover art 🌞🌳🌳🎹🎶

A blustery but sunny morning here in the Southern Highlands.

Slowly but surely moving my posts onto Substack. This is a photo post about the amazing waterfalls just inland from where I live.

Waterfalls of the Southern Highlands
Just inland on the south coast of NSW on the rocky shelf are plunging gorges and incredible waterfalls

Apparently, it might stop raining on Tuesday. It feels like it's been grey and raining for years ☔☔☔☔
