Sparkles


The sunshine is making the ice sparkle but no matter how hard I tried I could not get the camera to pick up those little glints of light, so you get a gate instead.

In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well.
