A Sandy Beach Almanac



You've landed at Sandy Beach, NSW, Australia: Lat. -30.15331, Long. 153.19960, UT +10:00 – local map & zoom Google map. I live in a cabin on this beach, 25 kilometres north of the traffic and shops of Coffs Harbour, 600 km north of Sydney. My intention is to post observations of Nature and life within 1 km (1,000 paces) of my South Pacific home.

Spring is sprung: Brunfelsia from America

This Brunfelsia is outside my door. I like the common names better: 'Yesterday, today and tomorrow', and 'Kiss me quick'. The reason for the former name? "When they first open they are a violet colour, fading to lavender blue and then white, with the three colours present on the bush at the same time." (Burke's Backyard)

It needs a bit of a haircut, but this is on my to-do list for when it's finished flowering.
