Is that snow on the ground, or white sand?

Would be snow, dosen't happen very often to have that sort of cover in snow. Yallourn was a housing complex build for the construction of brown coal power stations for our state, this photo would be very early in the starting of the project.

Yes Roger, but we are at the bottom of Australia and some times can get a cold snap up from the south pole, a friend lost 2500 shorn sheep with a november dump in the 1970's.

Kerry, a cold snap and shorn sheep can be a disastrous combination. We lost a few lambs this year to cold wet weather. However, in the photo, two tourers have their tops folded. This is more likely to be the case in November. But what else could the white ground be?

Can somebody blow up the two vehicles. The one next to the bus looks to have rolled tops to the doors and body panels, quite stylish.

Allan from down under.
