Has the Wet Season Begun????

So.............. has it?

Well NO!  The West Season has not begun!  As I type this it is now mid January 2013 and still no rain to speak of!!

The Dam is around 60% full!  for January that is not good - it means that unless we get a decent rain in the the next 6weeks - there will be no watering of gardens - no 'long' showers (why would you want to when the cold water is hot anyway!) and certainly no playing 'slippy slide' on the tarpaulin with washing detergent!

Anyway - here are some shots taken from what is commonly known as "Telstra Hill" - due to it housing the Telstra Tower.  But, now that it houses the  BOM "lollypop" will it now be called the "BomTel Hill"?? 

and - why can't we just call it "Sunset Hill" like it used to be called in the old days - when everyone would go on up there to see the sun set over town!??

If you look  carefully - you will see Santa and his Boomers on his way through town!!

Walk This Way!!

This cute little critter - scared me witless!!  I could hear the scritching and scratching and some grunting going on while I was patiently trying to dodge the lightning - and this was the culprit!!!

I think it is some sort of "Rock Wallaby"  really must find out what sort!!
