The Changes Taking Place

After three lots of rainfall during the past week here at Mango Farm and in the close area, everything is showing new growth, with a huge variety of particularly green colours. On a “billabong walk” this morning, small depressions were holding water, and some billabongs had received inflows. The insect world was particularly active, with different size and colour Dragon Flies, Butterflies, and all sorts of nectar gathering creatures. Both the Freshwater and Estuarine Crocodiles are also active, rising to the surface and displaying their body size to discourage challengers. There were fresh footprints from a wild buffalo, but no indication where it is camping, such as a wallow at a waterhole. Jeanette spotted a Water Buffalo standing in a forested area when we went out to take photos just on dusk last night, but the photos I snapped are badly focused and a disappointment.
