We've just got just back from the International Photo Biennale in Ballarat via Penola and the Coorong. The long drive back has left us exhausted in spite of the breaks at the Grampians, Robe and the Coorong.
The picture is of Lake Windouree in Ballarat. The lake has seen better days. After a decade's worth of below-average rainfalls the lake went dry, and the water currently there comes from diverted storm water. The Lake is now a swamp of mudflats, reeds and stagnating and evaporating puddles of water. Yet another indication of climate change.
A weekend was not enough to take in the Biennale's various exhibitions or to take photos. The Biennale's core in Ballarat was okay, but the fringe was spread out around the outlying towns of Creswick, Trentham, Daylesford and it was impossible to get to see them all in a day.
