Well we have had some thunderstorms  and rain lately, with falls ranging from 40 to 80mm, which
turns everthing into a lake, but the next day it can be 30 degrees and humid as well. Yesterday
afternoon we had a big electrical thunderstorm with lightning bolt spearing directly to the ground
around us! Daisy was beside herself, especially when this very loud clap of thunder happened
right above the motor-home, and it made both of us jump with fright as well! Consequence of
all this water is frogs - they are everwhere even spawning in the pit beneath cattle grids. The
chorus at night is so wonderful though as they all are croaking. We now have a resident green
tree frog under the motor-home somewhere as we hear it croaking most nights now. Some of
the green tree frogs reside inside the water down-pipes and it is funny to hear their amplyified
croaking at night too.

Well finally we had 30mm rain yesterday which was very welcome as we have missed out
on any forecast rain in the area for awhile now. It rained steadily non stop for 24 hours
and already the lawn has started to turn green again.
Even had 3 kangaroos feeding on the lawn right behind the motor-home yesterday afternoon
in the rain. The mangos are starting to develop now (photo), so hope the birds and fruit bats
don't beat us when it is ripe. We have some bird nets here so they come in handy too.
They also turned off the analogue TV signal here in regional Queensland today and as we
have very poor digital TV signal here we maybe very limited in TV programs available now.
