Winter dawn


Just a tiny slither of the moon and the first light of the sunrise through bare branches at 6.00 am yesterday.The mornings are getting lighter but summer is still some time away although summer temperatures are forecast for next week. We've had some rain this week on the coast but nowhere near to make any difference to the dwindling reservoirs although more rain is forecast for tomorrow.  Inland the situation is desperate. The problem is we need weeks of rain to banish the drought and refill the dams and reservoirs.
Meanwhile our appalling government does not even recognise climate change yet alone the desire of the majority of the population for them to take some serious steps to reduce the country's carbon emissions and our contribution to the global problem through our coal exports.
