Narrawilly in autumn

· Farm life

Narrawilly in autumn is simply glorious. Cooler, softer, lush, and (this year, at least) green.

Below, a selection of photographs taken in recent weeks, including Croobyar Creek in flood in late March 2021 and a feast of persimmons -- or rather, the annual match-up between Farmer Rob and the local birdlife.
