I called in at a winery on my way home from up the mountain (Toowoomba)...to take some photos of the surrounding scenery, it being located on top of a rise, between Marburg and Minden on the Warrego Highway. The Australian flag was flying! a lovely red frangipani was flowering in the tiny little cemetery...(The "Anglican" cemetery)! this dear angel was on the tombstone of an 18 year old girl. sorry, not lunchtime yet! When I got home it had been drizzling with rain...and the lorikeets were going crazy in the trees....and I was pleased with the photos I managed to get of them...this triplet were sitting there, and I had to get that photo through a glass door... these are of just a couple of lorikeets who hung around for a bit! they looked like they were having a bit of a chat together! They were just so colorful!
