I wrote not so long ago of the sound and smell of rain as it falls at the end of a long day.
Now the rain has not stopped falling. From drought to flood; so quintessentially Australian. (Yet bushfires still burn around the country, and many areas are still in drought.) I’m currently flooded in. A small causeway crosses the road near the house, and the water is too high for my mini. The creek is tidal, and usually it floods for half a day or so; the worst has been for a few days. Should that happen, I’m contemplating building a raft with empty wine bottles.
