The Rings of Time........
It is difficult to tell the size from the picture but the width of the tree was considerable bigger than I am tall.
The rings on the tree showed what it had endured during its life, much like the wrinkles on my face, where it had good years and bad.
As the tree was 4 times older than me it puts into perspective the brief stay that we mere mortals have on this earth and the importance of spending our time wisely.
Here is hoping your time on this earth is long, productive & enjoyable.

Australia Continued ..
Taking off in the rain from London Gatwick but there are three cameras to watch it, one in the nose, one in the tail and one looking down from the underside of the fuselage.
Interesting to watch the runway disappear and the green fields of Sussex get smaller as we took off towards the west. We then turned right and headed out east on the 6.5-hour flight. Distance is around 5,500 km.
