Here's Mount Wellington as viewed from the south east, from the beach of Opossum Bay. What could be finer when sittung on the beach than reading poems featuring peaches? Nothing, that's what! Aubade: Some Peaches, After Storm , by Carl Phillips So that each is its own, now--each has fallen, blond stillness.
