Makes a lot of sense.
Rail vs trucks as well as solar powered buildings.Construction giant Calder Stewart has proposed a "$3 billion" solar-powered inland port it says will boost Otago's export capacity and create hundreds of jobs.
The 'Milburn Quadrant development', north of Milton, would span over 200ha in total and host a 55ha inland port that connected directly to State Highway 1 and the South Island's main trunk rail line, a statement issued this morning said.

Apart from super convenient, #Melbourne’s tram network (the largest in the world) links cbd, and the inner and outer suburbs beautifully.
It’s a vital aspect that complements a world-class transport system, which including trains and a comprehensive bus network.
This is a City-circle #tram, that travels free around the #cbd. Looks like this ol rattler has undergone a recent renovation!
Also a newbie behind, ‘Made in Melbourne’, of course!
We have an eclectic mix of trams that service the public, some adorn full coverage of advertising or themed art and they range from well maintained old, to state of the art.

#Proteacynaroides, also called the #kingprotea, is a distinctive member of Protea, having, apparently… the largest flower head in the genus.
The species is widely distributed in the southwestern and southern parts of South Africa.
This one was growing in abundance in #OakleighSouth #Australia on a busy road and Ive been observing it from a far for a week now.
It’s now perfect for a glorious photograph or two. So I didn’t waste this opportunity to share this beauty.

#Leucadendronsalignum, also known as the #commonsunshineconebush, is a shrub that produces several stems from the ground of up to 2 metres (6.5 foot) high.
These have been featured previously here about a month ago, from #CaulfieldSouth #Australia and I thought I’d drop in on them to see how they were progressing.
Whilst no flowers to speak of, the tops of these beauties display a vibrant mix or reds and yellow shades that make them a delight to the eye.
These pictures are from three different bushes and I reckon they’re worthy of legendary status given their visually uplifting effect.
♥️💛

I stumbled on this quite unique growth, just this morning in #CaulfieldSouth #Australia.
It’s called Leucadendron salignum, also known as the #commonsunshineconebush.
It’s a shrub native to South Africa, that produces several stems from the ground. It is from the family Proteaceae.
It survives the wildfires that occur periodically in its native country, by regrowing from an underground rootstock.
Apparently this wonderful plant is pollinated by beetles 🪲
The red / scarlet colouring of the inside surfaces of its leaves are the most appealing aspect for mine.
This plant flowers (first one opening in pic 2), so I’ll definitely be back to post an update in a few weeks.

Another gorgeous #Amaryllis in and around Melbs.
These should be officially renamed #AmaryllisEverywhere!
They adorn the city atm and they’re cheery and just beautiful.

Snap and upload. No filter (I never use!) - the vibrant reds of this was amazing!
It is a Celosia argentea, commonly known as the #plumedcockscomb and is of tropical origin from India and Nepal.
The plant is known for its very bright colors. Not surprising!!
These are growing in abundance near #governmenthouse in #melbourne, #Australia with their #marigold buddies.
The red flowering growth presents as erect ‘feather like’ portions that almost look fluorescent in the sunshine.
Yes, they looked this glorious in real life.

These beautiful garden displays are flowering now in #melbourne, near #kingsdomain and #governmenthouse, #Australia.
Our city gardeners certainly haven’t skimped on the abundance of flowers and the contrasting colours (reds, oranges and green) and patterning is a delight to the eye!

These #Camellia are a little smaller than the many larger flowering heads that are blooming at the moment throughout #melbourne.
But are no less impressive.
Vibrant colours and green foliage are most likely, in part, attributed to the rains of late and the glimpses of winter sunshine throughout the past fortnight.

The #bees were loving this #Camellia!
Such pretty flowers these - and the hair-like filaments and thick anthers are stunning on this tree.
Spotted and snapped in #ashburton #Australia in the mid-afternoon sunshine.

Good morning!! (Arvo, evening or night! 😉)
#NarcissusJonquilla, commonly known as jonquil or rush daffodil, is a bulbous flowering plant and is a species of daffodil.
It is native to Spain and Portugal, but very much at home here in #Melbs.
Such a mood lifter, especially blooming during our winter months.

Closeups of #bushdaisies 👇
#EuryopsPectinatus is often used as an urban garden plant, given their flowering periods are epic.
They grows best in full sun and well-drained deep soils. It’s not frost resistant unfortunately… and I read with interest every part of this plant is poisonous.
Also, this is not just one flower, but a composite of a number of tiny flowers which make up the yellow disc in the middle (ie their 'disc floret').
Love the bursts of yellow… makes me feel good to view such simple, yet complex beauty.

Up at silly o’clock this morning for kids football.
Walking to the ground, we see some kind of ash, oak or maple variant (I know they’re everywhere in this suburb with their reds, oranges, yellows and greens!).
This one’s branches are covered with a bright green #moss, which appears to be a permanent feature in this little Gully reserve, adjoining a waterway not far away.
Its #autumn leaves 🍁 🍂 are gorgeous.
All I can say, on this wet, soggy morning is… thank goodness the early sun is out!! 🌞

#Maples are turning red during this early #autumn period in #melbourne #Australia!
What deep and delicious colours we’re seeing around the burbs at present.
Seeing this small but impressive #mapletree on an #ashburton #Australia nature strip a couple of days ago, made my heart race.
With simplicity, comes undeniable beauty.

Another suburban #gumtree, featuring its unique trunk patterns, akin to typical army fatigues.
The different colour of bark patches are in fact varying layers that have aged over the months. The lighter shades, obvs, are the newer layers.
This beauty is at least 60 foot tall and has most likely been around for longer than most of us, even though it’s a relatively mid-aged tree, I’d suggest.
Many #gums live in excess of 200 years, I read with interest!
You should see these monumental trees in a bush setting. In numbers, they are breathtaking.

The trusty flora ID App tells me these leaves belong to an #AmericanSweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), which is native to warm temperate areas of eastern North America and tropical montane regions of Mexico and Central America.
Sweetgums are recognizable by the combination of its five-pointed star-shaped leaves (similar to maple leaves) and its hard, spiked fruits.
This tree is almost bare, however a handful of beautiful leaves still remain. Notice how the setting sun accentuates the rich network of veins throughout each leaf structure?
And their colours are oh so gorgeous, too!

A little bit of #Australiana - an #Australian #bush scene on a brick wall facing a busy highway in suburban #brightonEast #Australia.
It’s a new addition to the area, which is a part of #Melbourne’s #urbancanvas project which has seen the creation and display of up to 30 new public pieces of art pop up, over the recent few months.
I’m slowly getting around to each one of them… one at a time.
This project is sponsored by #Resene, a local paint producer and supplier.
Artist; #Soleveins, aka #Veins (painted 2023).

These flowers, from a #CamelliaOleifera are in abundance here in #brightonEast #Australia.
Just look at the inflorescent blooms of this tree in the front yard of this place!!
The hair-like filaments and yellow anthers, for mine, are something else.

Surprisingly, we’re seeing Agapanthus (these I believe are #AgapanthusAfricanus) blooming in Melbs, here and there.
They’re normally out and about in abundance throughout mid Spring to early Summer, but these few captured yesterday in #brightonEast #Australia, appeared to be new blooms.
Strange timing, however gorgeous all the same.

You’re viewing #AloeArborescens, the krantz aloe or candelabra aloe, a species of flowering succulent perennial plant and a genus which shares with the well known and studied Aloe vera.
Aloe arborescens has succulent green leaves, large vibrantly-colored flowers, winter blooming, and attraction birds, bees, and butterflies.
#AloeVera is derived from the plant’s leaves and has many cosmetic and health benefits.
An amazing plant, and the flowers are just divine!

#BrightonEast #Melbourne #Australia is home to this grand #gumtree!
So richly #Australian and native to this continent.
First two pictures are of the same tree.
3rd and 4th are of other tree foliage (#eucalyptus leaves) that are typical of #gums, given the tall one tops out at around 60 foot high (estimated).
Taken yesterday evening, pre-sunset.

#brightonEast #Australia is home to this gorgeous and healthy looking #azalea.
Simply cannot believe how many I’m seeing blossoming in the cooler, wet weather of late.
And that patterning, which is synonymous with these flowers, no matter their colour.
So beautiful. 💖

I have shared this #bougainvillea before… and it is still flowering strong.
It grows beautifully in #brightonEast #Australia - I think it has been showing of its vibrant pink bracts for almost 4 months now.
Such a giving and generous specimens this one!

Well, to say I fell in love the moment I set my eyes on this booming, bright #Bougainvillea is an understatement!
It’s the most magnificent one I’ve seen all #summer… and just look at the saturated growth of flowers. And the shades of pinks and what appears red shades throughout this beauty.
Not sure I’ve ever seen one so magnificent!

Makeshift #oilRefineries have cropped up across #syria. This report from #insider in their #RiskyBusiness series, takes you inside the refining process - literally.
Displaced due to ceaseless war, these former doctors, musicians and everyday people destroy their lives to provide one for their children.
