We have had some nice rain here during the week. As distinct from the huge amount of rain and floods that other parts of the state, as well as parts of NSW, have received. And still no rain yet for the fires in Victoria, although they are predicting some showers there tomorrow...here is hoping! a couple of wonderful sunsets during the week too! and some fine blue skies as well!

Here in the middle between the two we are not too badly off...clouds around , and quite humid! I had occasion to pull off the highway this week on my way down from the mountain visiting family...to take some photos. Found a winery and a cemetery in close proximity! It had been raining for the last week or so....but it is now fine again!

These other photos aren't anything to write home about unfortunately, but I seem to be unable to delete them anymore, so I am stuck with them !! A little silver lining to end on!
