Well I guess that the wind cleared away a lot of the leaves from the street based on the photos which is a good thing. Slippery little beggers. The colours of the trees are changing fast this year over here too.
Is that a palm tree in the last photo?
Yes, that's a palm tree... not exactly native to these parts, but it seems to do ok. There are actually a fair number of palm trees in Victoria.
They sure do get around as a tree species. We have them in Cornwall. Imported by the Victorians...Snap! lol
Haha that's funny! :)
