More Rain

The roads are muddy and squashed tortoises are not an uncommon sight. This is a change from kangaroos and lizards that make up the normal road kill. People around here say that this is the wettest year since the mid-1970s, and no one is complaining. The river is running at quite a rate, making a pleasant gurgling, splashing sound as it runs over the old crossing. By jumping and taking large steps you can still walk across the river at the old crossing. I love this river, the mighty Maranoa.
