This tells me how vast the country is, and not everyone is lucky to get rain. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Kilcowera. All the best, Rita Hi Toni,

what a pity you didn’t get any rain. This tells me how vast the country is, and not everyone is lucky to get rain.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for Kilcowera.
All the best,
Rita

Unfortunately even though the weather bureau says we are in the channel country, we're not. And haven't had any rain and are now in our 9th year of drought and sick, sick, sick of it too. The proper channel country will look a picture by now and in a months time the vegetation will be a metre high. It's not the best time for wildflowers but many will appear anyway as all things living in a semi arid environment are very opportunistic. And yes Lake Eyre is filling and creating quite a stir amongst travellers as it does so. It looks like the pelicans will have somewhere to breed this year as well! A local pilot and a small tour operator have gotten together and are running a 5/6 day tour of the area which would be stunning. All the best Toni Hi Rita thanks for your positeve comments.

It is great to have someone talking about the old times. I was wondering if you got some rain in your area, after all, Qld has even been in the news in Germany with the floods on the coast. But I also read that Lake Eyre is filling with water, so the Channel Country must have got some rain too? Do you already see changes? I mean wildflowers, fresh green everywhere, wildlife activities? Did nature awake, and where does it happen? I wish I could travel in your beautiful region now. Keep up the great work, I'll come back to your blog. And hopefully to the Channel Country as well some day. Rita Hi again Zenonie,

I wish I could travel in your beautiful region now.

Keep up the great work, I’ll come back to your blog. And hopefully to the Channel Country as well some day.
