A Land of Drought, Fire and Flooding Rain

Australia is a land of contrast.  For several years much of eastern Australia has experienced prolonged drought.  Then came the bushfires destroying homes, farms and flora & fauna.   Next came COVID-19, followed by a plague of mice.

Millions of them are everywhere, in homes, cars, businesses, eating everything and leaving the stench of their droppings

Now the same area is experiencing flooding, with the locals hoping the rodents will be drowned.  However the flooding rains bring their own problems…… Including spiders!

All the brown in the above photo is a carpet of spiders attempting to flee the rising waters.

Over here in the west the temperature has dropped from 38C to a cooler 28C.  No mice, spiders or flooding.  I even managed more work on the camper trailer this morning.
