From rain to random strangers

Rain at lastWE had a bit of a political storm in Moulamein. Plenty of promises, plenty of noise, plenty of wind with bugger all result. I measured about 13mls. There were higher falls in town but I think they just have long legged dogs. Anywhere...

OUR fishing comp is happening this weekend with some of the best conditions we have seen for years. This great event caught me by surprise a bit and this is the first time I have mentioned it. It will not be stinking hot like it has been in the...

From men’s health to bowls

UNFORTUNATELY, once you get a fire like this started in a river bend, there is not much you can do except wait it out. The fire got into another tree today and put a fair bit of smoke up. All within the containment lines...

Piece of history returned

The heat was ‘egg-sacting’

FORTY SIX degrees on Monday. All I can say is at least it wasn’t on Saturday for our races. It did not quite hit the predicted peak on our back verandah. But it did hit 44 just briefly. This was our first day over 40 this year as far as I can...

Heat up, water coming down

ALL I can say is at least it wasn’t on Saturday for our races. If you were planning a day off, Monday would be a good day to do it. Look after your animals. Chooks love a bit of a puddle to play in. Dogs just love...

Snakes swell and on the move

They are everywhere. They are big and fat and shiny and plentiful. I keep saying that it is the most snakes I have seen since the ‘70s. I had a camper turn up today and I warned him about the number of snakes and to watch his dog. I said that I...
