Ibis Passing

In winter, on the range above Willunga SA,flocks of Ibis gather during the rains. Seven forms suggesting a family/herd/flock drift accross the roadside entrance area to a small farm- a spot highly visible to passing motorists and creating a destination marker for visitors.

The family there helped to harvest and cut Tassie blue gum from their woodlot and the work was made in exchange for pergola poles for my garden.

Bound Tassie blue gum leaf "heads"- the trimmings from the woodlot- aged to beautiful russet colours.
