SNOW MEMORIES

Reports of recent snow falls at Oberon and Shooters Hill brought back memories of the last significant snow fall in the upper Blue Mountains that occurred two years ago.

Here are some memories of that previous snowfall to enjoy while we wait and hope for a return of the snowy magic once more. ❄️

The following images were taken in August 2022 at Medlow Bath, when snow dusted the wattle and waratah in local bushland. For more snow memories see the Comments section below.

DOUBLE THE SUN

A small rock pool atop the sandstone platform at Du Faurs Rocks, Mount Wilson reflects an image of the afternoon sun.

From the lookout, an expansive view unfolds over the Wollongambe wilderness towards Bell.

This is a post I shared of a rescuer before it was popular to do so. She was ahead of her time. ❤️

I shall
Gather up
All the lost souls
That wander this earth
All the ones that are alone
All the ones that are broken
All the ones that never really fitted in
I shall gather them all up
And together we shall find our home
A little poem written by Athey Thompson

This picture is of Camberley Kate, who was well known in Camberley as the lady who would wander the streets with her “stray dogs” cart and gather up all the waifs and strays. It is said that during her life she rescued and gave a loving home to over 600 homeless dogs.
Today, I’m honouring this inspirational lady who devoted her life to saving dogs. And what a legacy she did leave behind, and to all the animals, we must be kind.

Callie's a proud mumma of her little joey who has recently started coming out of her pouch to say hi. We're looking for suggestions for a name for her little girl.
