A photo of T'Keep, taken after a
dark clouded winter snowstorm had
blanketed the house and garden

at the open gate.

Cheeky crimson
rosellas are a
common feature
about the area at Mt
Egerton. These partly

reaching adulthood,
turn darker red.

Mt Egerton may well be a small town, but when
everyone turns out and pulls together a lot gets

the lawn and gardens. The cape-weed on the right was
very photogenic, whilst the rapeseed, genetically modified
