As the weeks passed, the pelargonium tirley garth flower became a symbol of hope and beauty, inspiring all who saw it with its delicate yet powerful presence.

Flinders Blow Hole Rocks – Original Seascape Oil Painting by Artist Garry Purcell This original seascape oil painting I completed, is at the area known as the Flinders Rocks Blowhole, located on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia.
Its some of the more interesting coastal areas in Victoria Australia. This original painting is based on my trip down to the Flinders Area on the Mornington peninsula. The best time to go is during a storm as the water does get quite turbulent with large waves crashing into the shoreline, and the day I visited was no exception, with the waves breaking well off shore and large swells making it rather dangerous to try to go down to the beach area. So I set myself well back fro the water and had my umbrella with me, to keep the occasional shower off me.

Wind power is transforming the Australian Outback as large wind turbines are being installed across the landscape. The vast open spaces of the Outback make it an ideal location for wind farms, with high wind speeds creating an abundant source of renewable energy. These wind turbines are changing the landscape, as towering structures now dominate the once barren horizon. The development of wind power in the Outback is helping to reduce Australia’s reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change. The wind farms have also brought economic benefits to the region, creating jobs and boosting local economies. While the visual impact of the turbines may be controversial, the environmental and economic benefits they bring to the region cannot be ignored.
