Yesterday morning the rain started to fall, so SJ and I took Bailey-dog and went for a drive (4WD) through the Ranges to the north, away from the fire.
It took us two hours to slowly make our way through the riverbeds and over the mountains. We saw oodles of wildlife, out enjoying the cooler weather and water: Kangaroos, emus, birdlife galore, and even reptiles.
In the evening the rain became heavier and more steady, filling our water tanks nicely, refreshing the garden, and dousing that fire.
We are looking forward to a much cooler, less stressful week ahead.
Beautiful pics Sarah :)
