The first three photos in this post were taken within a “window” of just one minute.
At 6.38 pm on 17 March 2025 the sun was low; it would soon “sink” into Bass Strait.
”Paradoxically” (not, in fact) this circumstance saw the west-facing, upper reaches of Strzelecki National Park bathed in “gold”, whilst their lower flanks were “greyed” by shade.
Flinders Island was then in severe drought.
Three nights later, the first substantial rain in many moons sent water rushing down the cleft pictured above.
From the same vantage point – our upstairs room and its landing – we could hear it roaring, during the wee hours of 21 March.
A few hours later, on a grey morning, we could see some of the “new” waterfall.
The next Flinders Island post will feature something very small, but with a whole lot of “attitude”.
