Very beautiful snow landscape, unfortunately some trees have fallen under the weight of the snow. The paths are also difficult to walk on in the snow. But the winter landscape is beautiful.

This evening we took a short walk through the Drover Heath. The sky, in particular, provided spectacular images. In some places, the heather had already faded, and there were also a few burnt patches. Some ponds had already dried up due to the persistent drought. Nevertheless, the heath is always worth a visit.
