When the Australian flag isn’t being flown due to strong winds etc, a windsock will be flown.
It is slightly down from the top as it managed to annoyingly find it’s way over the flag pole at one point!

A cumquat [kumquat] that was planted 08Dec25. It has flowered already and looks like it could set fruit, so appears to have settled in well even though it was planted early summer (it has had some extra hand watering).
