Welkom to Diana van der Harst's website
This is Smokey, he comes from the Banksia Tree.
Now he is a bit traumatized, because he was in the middle of a bushfire,
and that is why I made a soft and soothing jumper for him to hide away in.

Yes, many Banksia babies become burnt in bad bushfires but brave ones will recover. This one is very cute. Great blog Diana. Keep up the good work…
