“A leader. . .is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.” ― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom 12/30 September 12 Months in Colour. More info in first comment.

Young Olive tree in Tewantin, Queensland. St Helena Island is a heritage National Park off the coast of Brisbane, Australia. It was a high security prison from 1867 to the 1920's and then a prison farm until its closure in 1932. The original olive tree was planted in the late 1800's after being brought to the Island from Europe by a visiting magistrate. This is a 3rd generation heritage tree which has a history of producing exceptional fruit and award winning olive oil. 13/30 Pale Green/Brown September
