| Lake Oberon |
The dams and lakes are rising higher but the big ones are not yet full to the brim. The council's website says it's currently 63% capacity so still a way to go.
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared.

The Pasture by Robert Frost
"I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too.
I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."

Loving this series already!! And just think - only a few years ago the residents would have been BEGGING for 63% at this time of the year!!
ReplyDeleteJoan I finally have a Royal Hotel for your page tomorrow. Do you just copy the picture from the web?
ReplyDeleteThese shots take me back to my honeymoon which we spent in Jenolan, Bathurst, Hill End and Mudgee.
Red, I know and that is why I have a fascination with watching the dam levels and reporting the figures ... because it is a bit hard to tell how full it is other than the fact that there is still a "rim" around the edge.
ReplyDeleteMark, send to the email address in my profile and I will post it. We spent some our honeymoon at Jenolan too. Or if you are posting on your blog I will copy from there.
I can't get past that fence -it looks good.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful landscape here. Whenever I visit your blog, it makes me want to do some serious traveling! The summer series is excellent.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I've been to Oberon. Nice to see it so green.
ReplyDeleteOoo ... I have found another Royal for you too. Must go and photograph it over the next few days.
ReplyDeleteThose dams will probably rise a bit higher next week ...
