Two of our neighbours had birthdays today so a group of us celebrated with birthday cakes and a large pot of tea out on a back veranda in a balmy 25°C. With ages ranging from 80 to 20, and easy warm friendships, it was as good as it gets. Naturally, the fact that the foot bridge spanning the Maranoa River at Mitchell had been lifted from its normal position to higher ground, was talked about.
Thunderstorms in the catchment are predicted and already the ground is saturated and the river swollen with muddy water. The prospect of flood waters sweeping down the river is exciting. I look forward to hearing it roar!
