Simpsons Gap
Since the rain we had here 2 weeks ago, Simpsons Gap has had a lot more water in it than usual. It is an incredibly special place any way, but with the water it is even more beautiful. It is such a privelege to live so close to the place and visit whenever I like. I often go at the end of the day at the moment to just paddle my feet and look at the reflections of the rocks in the pools. At the end of the day the rocks glow orange and there are also these white and purple rocks around too . There are tadpoles everywhere and a few frogs starting to emerge. I can just sit there in silence and wonder.

Well, we’ve been back in Alice for almost a week now and I’m beginning to calm myself down again. We had a wonderful 3 weeks in Sydney but it was so hectic, moving from place to place and meeting up with so many people. I came back quite exhausted but with a lot of wonderful memories of special occasions and good conversations. The day we got back it was pouring with rain and had also rained the previous day. So the rivers were flowing which was really exciting. We swam in the creek opposite our place with our new neighbours. We have a Colmbian family staying in the new cabin. So when Mil, Martin, Jo and Victor arrive tomorrow we will have a whole bunch of Spanish speakers from 3 Central and South American countries. I’m glad to be home and Alice now does feel like home. It’s hot, but not too bad and everything is so green from the rain. My vegie garden is coming along OK too thanks to the rain and the automatic watering system Martin put in for me.
