A week ago we were out at West Wyalong. I noticed that most crops were
fairly good on the slopes around Harden, but further west off the
slopes, most wheat crops were very short with no heads and many were
already being mown and baled for feed. It's too late for those farmers.

Interestingly
Many of the cockies out that way are praying for rain
Ones I have talked to are saying without good rain by the end of
September they will have to pull the rape up and use it as fodder
Without rain Tumut will be on level six water restrictions before
Christmas

We drove to Jindalee on Saturday. The countryside on the way looks
good, green crops and yellow rape seed flowering. But Jindalee was
bone dry; and there were not many birds. But the highlight was a
pair of rufous songlarks, singing their hearts out. There were also
many brown tree creepers. At a B.and B. nearby where we stayed
overnight we saw more songlarks, pipits, a family of trillers and a
solitary red capped robin. Also a crested pidgeon was nesting
We drove on to Temora. On the lake we saw the native hen. (Same one
as we saw years ago with you, Ian?)
We went to Ingalba Reserve, but saw very few birds there. Oh, we
first saw apostle birds on the side of the road, between Jindalee and
Temora. We did not see any babblers at a
