BLACK SHOULDERED KITE
The Forbes Moranding Road runs between Forbes, on the Kilmore Lancefield Road and Moranding, which is on the Northern Highway. In the early years of 1850s, this was an alternative route from Melbourne to the Heathcote/Bendigo road, a little more direct overland route.
There was some gold found in this area, Diggings Road runs into the Goldie hills, to the west off this road.
It is a beautiful area. There are still a few larger farms in the area, although most of the and is settled now into 20 to 100 acre lots.
Driving the other day, I saw this majestic looking kite, sitting on a dead tree. He sat so patiently as I stopped and photographed him (or her)
