A bridge over the north drain near Christison Way and Houston Street. Above is looking east showing the light morning fog in the distance, below looking north west.
The bottom photograph shows the light fog on the Rockingham Beach Primary School oval that is on the Fisher Street side. This is from the south west corner (corner Fisher Street and Rosewood Street) looking north east the same as on 04Mar26.

A return indoor! This lemon grass lived inside for years and like the succulents was moved outside for easier watering, but with the LED grow lights to assist has been returned inside after a quick trim.
It was starting to grow seed stalks and we did not want that to occur outside, it was inside in pot so it could not spread.
The lemon grass we tried hydroponically in the conical flask unfortunately didn’t survive.
