That was given to Scomo by the head of the Minerals Council, and that man now has an important position in the PMs office. And then there's the bloody rapture. If you can avoid finding this depressing I'd want to know why. People taking the last 2 cows out to shoot them because there is no water.

Last winter (our winter, sorry) was the flooding? I'm really very sorry sigi. I had hoped the poor cattle would have been sorted out. So it's back to drought? (That was in Queensland, if I recall correctly. My knowledge of Australia is getting better.)We should be getting the first real rain of the season-- very late. Last winter was wonderful. Almost like I recall. We'd need twenty more to break even. There was even fog! Though not enough. Redwoods create (or did) their own atmosphere or at least require it, which is fog.
