Our rainfall has been up and down this year. It went from extremely dry in September to very wet in October.
The high rain in March was from the remnants of Cyclone Debbie.

Should fire this thread up again. We had a couple of visitors today, they came right up to the house. We live in town so wallabies aren’t that common.
This looks like a mum and her teenager.

I’ve been impulse buying. I shouldn’t call into a nursery on a whim.

Dan fixed it this morning. Geoff is the other one to talk to when the site is down. 🙂

Hi AUSSIEDOWNUNDER, you have to use the direct link for photobucket i.e. without the URLs or img tags. http ://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae46/millys7700/001_9.jpg (without the space after http)http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae46/millys7700/001_9.jpg
