The Climate at Chambers Flat in September:

Keep in mind we are in spring over here and going into summer soon. We had BIG frosts over here in late June = -five degrees which is very cold for here but not for other parts of the world which experiences snow in the wintertime.). It frosted off everything. Then we had a week of solid rain in August then as big thunderstorm the other week and a bit of rain last night. With the warmer weather and temperatures up around 25 degrees in the day time, things have begun to grow and flower after all the drought (the worst drought in 100 years). We still in drought over here and we need a LOT MORE Rain all over Australia. The photos below demonstrate in colour what Harriet and I have doing lately. The bush is alive with new growth and birds are everywhere with their prescence and calls. As I am typing here at 4.45 p.m. in the afternoon, a wallaby with a joey in its pouch, quietly hops down the driveway above the ponds. It stops to see around in the bush then continues on a few minutes later. We are blessed to have this five acres of light open bush we bought 30 years ago in 1977. The photos below give a small window into some new things I have been doing. _______________________________
