I have not written a post for so long….argh! I am sorry, but fishing has been a high priority for me lately and I have been trying to ‘wet a line’ when ever I can! It seems like the old bug has bitten me again…fiercely!
Along with my brother we have caught lots of lovely fish lately…and just tonight had a great time catching some Slimy Mackerel.

They are lots of fun and very easy to catch. A great little fish to catch if you are looking at introducing your kids to fishing. Actually we use them for bait when trying to catch bigger fish, but some people tell me that they are yummy smoked or cooked on the bbq.
Anyway….what I was getting to with this whole post that has gone completely off the topic is that I have this just lurvely grass by my front gate. It ain’t no ordinary grass either. It is beautiful, bronze in colour and bows and sways in the wind. It welcomes me when ever I come home, from where ever it may be…such as my recent difficult days out fishing! OMG how I have loved those days!!
My sublime and my absolutely number 1 favourite native Australian grass is Themeda australis or Kangaroo Grass. Apparently the seed heads look a little like a kangaroo…..hrmmmm, I honestly cannot see that.

Readers of my blog probably know I LOVE native grasses and oh there are so many new hybrids and cultivars out now! Just you wait till I show you them all. I’m in heaven
