"Water"
Children just love it


Here they are having a wash under the overflow from 
our concrete tank during a rain storm


This picture is a wonderful reminder
of what children like to do
 enjoying fun
and laughter in the rain


Both water tanks are overflowing again
during the down pour 
Temp 29 humidity 89%


Today we fitted a new water line to replace 
an old galvanised water pipe 
that was rusted out




I visited this house and I saw these home made 
children/s  play equipment
which was worth a picture




Some pot holes still exist 
and sometimes it pays to have 
a 4WD
