Under the Ficus Macrophylla

Or the last stage of the Tour Down Under. Arrived a few hours early to secure a favourable spot. Nadine (the boss) is intent on finishing To Kill the President by Sam Bourne (real name Jonathan Freedland). She managed to negotiate the final pages as the riders negotiated the final laps of the city street race. I am reading the book now. 


A good day out and a bit cooler than the previous few days at only 38C. I made the mistake of sitting down and dozed off.


Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay fig or Australian banyan, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the family Moraceae that is a native of Australia.
