Guest bentkitty Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yup - lots of brown and sun burnt areas in summer. Great to see some rain and the green return - trouble is that winter here produces some voracious weeds as well. Don't talk to me about Soursob - damn stuff!!!! What on earth is 'Soursob'???:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Cow Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Soursob is a little plant with green leaves that are a bit like clover leaves and a small yellow flower. It grows like wildfire but the important thing as far as kids are concerned is....it tastes good if you suck it! It has a (you've guessed it!) sour flavour and is part of childhood and winter here! :wink: LC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IrishInOz Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Gold in summer and green in winter - thus our national colours of Green and Gold. In terms of 'Alot of Greenery' each State has its own type of greenery depending on the cooler climate of the southern States to the tropical northern States. My preference for the lush green landscapes would be Victoria and Tasmania. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing lots of google earth searchs and to be honest a lot of the land looks brown but around Adelaide looks very green. Which part of SA are you in? Look forward to hearing from you.

SamSam Not Crow Eater Country, Sam, I am from The Garden State. In the southern States the landscape in winter is green and in summer a golden brown. The following photo is of a town in east Victoria taken in winter, two years later during the hot summer period it was surrounded by bush fires. The poem by Dorothea MacKellar, 'My Country' says it all and it would be worth a 'Google'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO are ya Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I am an Adelaidian and yes there is only a few months where the grass is not brown. Kikuyu grass dies off in winter over here so it is no where near as lush as English grass. The kids will be playing in dust more than puddles...unless of course you move to the AdelaideHills.

Guest maggi Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Adelaide has many green areas but unfortunately with lack of water in the summer its quite brown or gold !! but we are rewarded by great beaches and wonderful sunshine and when we do have a good bit of rain everything goes green again, but unlike the UK we do have blue skies and sunshine in the winter months.

Guest Stella38 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi Maggi, I would say more burnt from the sun than gold! After looking at the rainfall stats for the past few years we had better get a move on with that Desalination plant...and perhaps looking to the future build another for good measure...or we will turn into an arabian state...which would not work either as we cannot have tall buildings in Adelaide (rant finished).

Guest Guest9973 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Well I reckon Adelaide is well and truly emerald green at the moment. Just returned from my hols to a jungle! 2 days to cut and tidy 2.5 very lush acres!!!:cute::cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SamSam Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Wow, my hubby wants to have your jungle! He loves having land and we want the same when we move to Oz but i'm not sure, does it bring lots of snakes and other creepy crawlies. My hubby tells me if it's always kept short they only like long grass but i'm not so convinced! SamSam x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby tells me if it's always kept short they only like long grass but i'm not so convinced! SamSam x It's raining and making the grass even greener and longer today. You probably will see a few more beasties if you live in rural/ semi rural areas , it just goes with the territory I'm afraid. I do keep the grass short so I can see what is coming but now it's winter there are no snakes. It's a good thing to keep it short due to fire risk in summer as well. We love where we live , nice compromise of semi rural and suburbia. We are accustomed to what nature can throw at us now - you quickly get used to it :smile::smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest proud2beaussie Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My hubby tells me if it's always kept short they only like long grass After living in Australia for 44 years I can tell you that is a myth. However the benefit of keeping the grass short is that if a snake is around you will see it and can take steps to manage the situation and avoid it-in long grass you are more likely to step on one and get bitten.
