Finally, some rain. 36 mls - enough to fill 2 of our three interconnected dams. Just a little bit more needed. The weeds of course spring to life first, but everything else is coming along nicely. I've spent a happy day pottering in the garden, digging in bag after bag of cow manure. (18) and then moving perennials into the newly enriched soil.

The imagination can always see how it will look, given more rain and plenty of sunshine.

We also had a walk in the rainforest. This moss looked rich and green all over the forest floor. The bracken fern, which used to carpet large areas has died right back (that pesky drought again) but it will soon come back as the days warm up.
