Rain then Sunshine

After 15 wet days, we finally reached, and in some places, exceeded the July rainful average.

The week-end was sunny, warm (22C) and spring-like. Richard and I celebrated this with a huge (for us!) walk through the Trigg bushland just North of Scarborough. The bushland is a remaining pocket of "natural" vegetation, from scrubby sand dunes, to medium size wattles, quandong trees bearing unripe fruit. A few Tuart eucalypts have survived , their habitat much altered by highway building, residential encroachment and deliberately lit fires. After a very pleasant walk, we spotted the ocean again, crossed the highway and walked back home in the sunshine, footpaths busy with walkers, skaters and cyclers, and many in the water enjoying the winter waves.
