The Monsoon is Back

It's raining.........occasionally, light, slow, drizzle, the odd sharp shower, a bit of sun, more light rain, some westerly wind........yes! The monsoon is BACK to north Australia.

Lots more rain thought to be coming, and flood warnings are out.

But the monson is life to the northern tropics. It fills the creeks and rivers, billabongs and back billabongs, provides mud islands for the crocodile nests and well........renews life in the north.

The past week has been really crappy weather. Hot, humid and STILL....you sweat [ not perspire] just standing still in the shade! At least there is a light breeze blowing now and while humid, at still around 30C, at least it feels better.



AND.......last night, the green tree frogs were singing big time. Even had to recover one from the upstairs bathroom, just a modest sized one, enjoying the weather. The photo though was in the back yard.
