WEATHER!

OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THOSE BATTLING ALL MANNER OF WEATHER EXTREMES IN AUSTRALIA RIGHT NOW.

With the absolute extreme weather the country of Australia has been experiencing this summer - on Australia Day weekend - it is timely to remember Dorothea Mackellar's (1885-1965) poem "My Country"

"I love a sunburnt country
a land of sweeping plains
of ragged mountain ranges
of droughts & flooding rains
I love her far horizons
l love her jewel-sea
her beauty & her terror"

Australia's weather is predictable by being unpredictable, and that hasn't changed in 100 years.

We wish all those - including our own family and friends - health & safetly.  Our thoughts are with you.
