Last year on the first day of spring my phone rang hot. This year it was the day before on the 31st aug. The local diamonds around here are starting to feel the warmth and all recent calls have been regarding snakes in or on roofs. With the amount of rain we have had over the last few years and this winter, its such a good feeling to know that the natural world around us is awakening to a good season for growth and supportive of reproduction. It needs it.
Ive been doing a lot of trips out west past cowra, and there has been really good rains out there, the most water lying around I have ever seen, With my favourite gorge looking like an absolute garden of eden, full of swimming holes, and amazing colours.
