Autumn and winter at Biandar
In May, there may have been fewer blooms in the garden, but there was still much of interest.
The fallen branches that produced such spectacular fungus last year are doing it again this year. So far the plates are not very large, but they are growing steadily. 
Green leaves remained on the big oak until late autumn. The oak hosts the swing, which is very popular with the grandchildren. You can see the platform of the tree house close to the trunk.
Earlier this month, the oak was in full colour. This is how it appeared from the deck, towering over the big poinciana
The Tung, as always, also coloured well this year. Its butter yellow leaves made a glowing contrast with the darker foliage around the pool.
From the deck can be seen other contrasting foliage - the bronze of the lorapetalum the yellow of the ambarellas, the gold/green of clerodendrum "Crikey" and the cream of the grevillia, "Honey Wonder".
As expected, the mystery digger in the rainforest turned out to be a bandicoot. Once we had confirmed this, we released her to return to her own concerns.
