The interesting thing is that urban wetlands receiving stormwater
run-off seem to have plenty of water. While the rain isn't filling the
main water storages, every time I poke my nose round at the Sherwood
Arboretum [Brisbane] the run-off from the last rain has re-filled the
ponds and covered the mud.

Yes, it appears it going to be worse this season if we do not get any
rain. Like many, I have never seen it so dry!!! I guess the waders and
terns on the east coast will have no choice but to use the estuaries/
permanent saline lakes on the coast which is where I would be looking
over this season.
In the Sydney area, East Lakes could be another hot spot this season
and
perhaps Bicentennial Park!
We have an interesting few months (hopefully not into years) ahead on
how our birds are going to cope with this "long...long" drought.
