Sometimes known as the #TasmanianFuscia this #CorreaBackhouseana is a species of shrub that is endemic to coastal (and near-coastal areas) of southern Australia.
It has elliptical to egg-shaped or round leaves that are densely hairy on the lower surface, and cylindrical to funnel-shaped, cream-coloured to pale green or red and yellow flowers.
And it’s not surprising this beauty can be found on the great State of #Tasmania, too!
This, with a bursting heart, is posted here for everyone, although is especially dedicated to the ‘@Lioness of Heart’ herself, who lives on the heart-shaped isle of #Tassie.

Hi Jen! Good question!!
Generally Australia does not experience wide spread #snow falls during #winter but we do have what’s knows as our #HighCountry in the State of Victoria.
We do have #snowfields, good skiing in general. Most of Victoria's alpine resorts lie to the north-east of Melbourne. Anywhere from say 2 to 4.5 hrs drive from our capital city Melbs.
These are a few of Victoria’s snowfields: #LakeMountain, #MtBawBaw, #MtBuller and #MtStirling, #MtHotham and #FallsCreek.
These👇are stock photos (source: https://www.visitvictoria.com/see-and-do/outdoor-and-adventure/snow-and-skiing/mt-buller and various), and #snow will start dumping early next month im guessing.
#newsouthwales has awesome snowfields. The largest ski resort in the #SouthernHemisphere is #Perisher. It has 47 lifts, plenty of runs, five terrain parks and around 100km of cross country trails. In #Thredbo you can ski Australia’s longest runs.
The Australian State of a #Tasmania, the island located to the south of Victoria, experiences flurries and snow falls throughout winter too. It’s closer to the #SouthPole. #Tassie is a gorgeous part of our country. 👏👍
PS I’m sure I’ve left out a load of other locations.
❄️☃️🏂🎿🏔️⛷️

The ID app tells me this is yet another #Hibiscus in bloom!
#HibiscusMutabilis, also known as the Confederate rose, Dixie rosemallow, cotton rose or cotton rosemallow, is usually a plant grown for its showy flowers. And I can see why!!
Originally native to southern China, it is now found on all continents except Antarctica.
#Melburnians are being treated to a visual feast atm, as they grow sensationally here in suburban Victoria!
This one was photographed in #ashburton #Australia.

#iceplant’s are so nice. They’re understated and humble in appearance but when they’re out, they’re just lovely.
It’s native to the Eastern Cape in South Africa and is naturalised in Portugal and the states of South Australia, Western Australia, and Victoria in Australia, as well as Pacific Grove, California.
Not sure how a species becomes ‘naturalised’ elsewhere, but apparently it is, in those other locales according to wiki.
Anyone have any idea?

A couple of nights ago just prior to sunset, nature treated #Melburnians to a show of #cloud formation that stretched over #PortPhillipBay!
These shots were taken along the #Esplinade #StKilda #melbourne.
The bay was also illuminated as the setting sun hit the water, to the west.
The clouds appeared to be a shimmering mix of silvers, greys and white.
Pic 4 shows a palm with what appears a radiating aura about it… a cool cloud formation 🤍🤍
#nature never ceases to amaze.

Location; #aclandStreet, #StKilda, #Australia.
Trams are a major form of public transport in #Melbourne, #Narrm, #Australia.
The system is the largest operational urban tram network in the world.
#Melburnians also benefit from an extensive network of #trains (above ground and an underground loop in the city - CBD), including regional above ground #VLine services) and a magnificent bus network.
#PublicTransport here is world-class, especially now with the huge, ongoing network expansions and upgrades / capital works designed to meet current and future commuter needs.
Stats (source; wiki):
Melbourne tramway network consists of 250 kilometres (160 miles) of double track
493 trams
24 routes
763 tram stops
Trams are the second most used form of public transport in overall boardings in Melbourne, after the commuter railway network
#Trams have operated continuously in Melbourne since 1885 (horses used to power the first tram line)
A total of 206 million passenger trips were made in 2017–18 (most recent available stats)
These new trams (pictured) were made in Melbourne
#PublicTransportVictoria aka #PTV do a terrific job getting #Melburnians and #victorians where they need to be… you can tell I’m a big fan!!

Nature appreciation shots from #melbourne - at our lovely #BottanicalGarden which is south of the #yarrariver and skirts the city central business district.
It was founded in 1846 on reserved lands.
These beautiful gardens extend across 38 hectares (94 acres) that slope to the river with trees, garden beds, lakes and lawns. It displays almost 50,000 individual plants representing 8,500 different species.
A regular visiting spot for many #Melburnians
And me! 😁 #makesmehappy
