So for the past few days since I got here the weather has been pretty poor. Constant rain, flooded footpaths and the sound of water hitting the tin roof near 24/7. The grey skies looming forever and no break seeming to appear.
Today however was the reminder that I am indeed in one hell of a hot country as after the clouds spent the final drops the sky cleared quickly and, in a scene that I hadn't seen all week, the Sun burst forth and did her thing. Pummelling fence posts, sawing pipes and digging out weeds is hard work in this heat.

Not much to report then, but we haven't been flooded in and if the rain stays off the levels by the bridge should drop to less dramatic levels. Of course we have to wait for the water from the hills to flow down before we can be sure, but at least the sky is clear for once! There's more sunshine and sweat scheduled for tomorrow, so I best be up early to get as much done as possible before the Sun gets into her stride. So early night for me tonight, TTFN!

Have googled Wollombi and it looks beautiful. Apparently a lot of Aborigine history - will you get a chance to have a proper walk about and see what it has to offer before you leave.
