Wet day in Mapleton.

It is lovely to see some rain - definitely enough to top up the water tank, and hopefully enough to quench some of the bushfires that have been springing up in SE Queensland. With over 50 houses burnt down in the small town of Tara on the Darling Downs we Queenslanders have been reminded that disastrous bushfires are not just a Victoria and New South Wales phenonmena.

I'm pleased you're getting the rain you need but I do wish it would stop raining in the North Island NZ :-)

It looks lovely and much needed, hope it helps the fires too.

I hope the rain extinguishes some of the bushfires.

Happy to see this, those bushfires are so scary

It's shaping up to be a scary bushfire season here as well. I'm glad you got some rain to dampen things down a bit.
