Really nice article on the flooding in Queensland, and what we can expect, nature wise, over the coming months... 🪴🌳🌷

This weather event has not been seen on this scale since European colonisation. Why has it happened now?

Watching the Outback come back was something I had never seen. We went from constant shades of grey and a dry riverbed, to green and then later to many colours as the wildflowers bloomed.

April 2021, the impact of water in the Outback.

Bit wild down at Bronte this morning.. 🌊🌊

It was actually quite a lot of fun. After getting unexpectedly wet, I retreated to the grassy area to watch unsuspecting others go too close to the walkway and get unsuspectedly soaked as well. A few of us seemed to be doing this - watching the occasional jogger get sploshed, and cracking up like teenagers. Cruel I know, but quite funny 😁

Memories of Brewarrina

‘Tell me about the River’, she said boldly (and perhaps a tad naively). ‘I want to understand your connection with it.’ She sat, pen in hand, ready to write it all down.

‘Go get your own opinion’, they said. ‘What you want ours for?’

‘Well you know it so much better than me’. .. she said. ‘Just tell me, I’ll write it. ‘

‘Go sit with her, every day for a month.’ they said. ‘Get your own opinion. We’re here if you have questions, but you gotta get your own opinion. Otherwise you’ll just have ours.’

So she did. And she got to know the comings and goings of things.

It was a glimpse.

An unexpected trip took an unexpected turn today when I arrived quite early for an appointment in Canterbury, in Sydney. It’s a suburb I don’t know well - in fact I only know its main road which is busy and not that beautiful. BUT.. a little dab of greenery caught my eye, as I played with what to do with my spare 20 minutes. …

Here is the Cooks River, quiet, and quite a contrast from the business of the main road, and I believe, but haven’t yet researched, that the walkway goes also through Marrickville and Campsie .. plus more. Happy strolling ..

OK.. here’s a couple more. 🥰 The Barwon at Brewarrina last Saturday. You couldn’t have hoped for a more beautiful day, despite the heat. It was perfect in every regard.

Thank you Michael for the video, and for your words:

HAPPENING NOW: Menindee Lake inlet 18th May 2024. If your in the area it’s worth coming for a look 😎 footnote🦶: The appearance of being blue must have something to do with my phone because it isn’t quiet like that with the naked eye
