But, the good news is, that I've seen green tree frogs (okay only 2) for the first time in YEARS.. years!! I was really really pleased.. its a nice thing to see frogs around. Fingers crossed for a good wet season (we can always hope) ; ) Aw nice little frog, we did end up getting a little bit of rain last month, I think we’re still heading for the driest year in recorded history though.

The tree is a young Brush Box - they are funny trees, never seem to die but look terrible when we get a sustained dry spell. Anyway they are much happier now. Thanks for your comment Belinda.

While we haven't had a lot of rain yet, at least we are running into the wetter part of the year up here and morale is picking up. It will be interesting to see what comes out of Copenhagen - maybe the pollies will surprise us (wishful thinking). Gav – I feel for you down there – seems like you are stuck in a long hot dry rut.

I love a good before and after shot, especially when it comes to rain. That tree must have sung with joy! Still no end to our drought down here in Victoria. The weather over the last few days have been very humid, in the 30's and then a thunderstorm and about 5mm of rain. It is like living in Darwin without the rainfall. Might be another hellish hot summer again, but won't they all be from now on, unless we all do something about it! Gav Great photos James.
