Back to Australia ...... with a little of Canberra.

It was very unexpected, but I have just managed to get back to Australia for the second time in 2 months!! This probably means I will not get back there for the rest of the year but who knows ....

The 6 days I spent in Brisbane and I do not think it has stopped raining since I left there at Christmas time!  I managed half a day sunshine!  When I was there is 2007, it was all about water conservation and drought mitigation. However, I think everyone prefers the water, even if in excess. It was interesting to see what happens now with heavy rains as they have built on all the wetlands and there is now nowhere for the water to get absorbed = serious runoff and flash floods at times. However, I good time was still had by all.

Canberra was less wet but my arrival seemed to coincide with new rains. However, there are a lot drier than further north and certainly needed the rain. It is beautiful to see the ACT looking do green after all the years of draught. In the six days there, I manage at least 2 days with sun!! A record on this trip.
