Biggenden trip!





Finally got to go for a drive to Biggenden on Sunday! It was great - they've had some storm rain as well. (We ended up with over 5 inches from the storms)
The new dam on the Burnett River is finished now, known as Paradise Dam, see the pics.
It hasn't been full yet though. The central spillway is 310 metres long and 37 metres high.
Its a world leader in fish movement compatibility - fish and turtles can move upstream and down via a state of the art lifting system.

some rain



Its been pretty dry here for a while.
It started to rain lightly last night and now became heavier this morning.
Insects, maybe flying ants began to hatch from the dead lawn - and look who came to get them!
Toads galore came tumbling down the rock wall behind the house to catch a feed.
