Mini flood becomes the biggest biggerly flood, most tremendous flood ever.....
After a summer of rain it ended with the biggest flood we have ever seen.

Floods, Snakes and Micro Bats
The rain finally began to fall in December. A little at first leading to great excitement when we had 8mm overnight. November only registered 9mm so 8mm in one day was really something to get excited about. The earth was dry after so little rain for so long.The rain finally began to fall in December.

Bushfires Heat Koalas and Rain
The summer is almost over and it has rained. The fires have stopped. The days are almost constantly hot but unlike the later part of 2019, during the fires, the humidity is high now. A bit like a normal summer really.
