The lake is on fire !?!


Our local lake .... Lake Wendouree ... caught on fire last night!

As you can see from the picture there isn't any water in the lake. It has been mostly dry for a few years now ... gets a little water in winter with the rain but not enough to fill it back up. I must say I am mighty sick of this drought and everything being so dry and dusty ... after 10 years I've had enough. I get fed up with the people who build new houses and immediately landscape their yards ... we are on water restrictions people! Why plant a garden that you aren't allowed to water? I know that weeds and half dead plants don't look that great but I'd rather see them than water hungry non-natives!

Better stop ranting now and go get creative ... ciao
