Heavy Rains


Recent trip to the Wimmera region in NW Victoria highlighted the effects of widespread heavy rains over many months. Here is a photo of the Yarriambiack Creek between Warracknabeal and Brim. This creek has been mostly dry for at least 10 years previous to this year. The rain has had a devastating effect on the grain harvest which would have been the best in many decades.

Fraser Island -Kingfisher

Kingfisher Beach
During our visit to Fraser Island we stayed at the Kingfisher Resort. The beach was just a short walk from our accommodation and provided many enjoyable walks, especially in the evening as the sun was setting. One such walk was to McKenzies Jetty, now derelict, but once used to load timber cut on the island.
