Such a lovely cool Christmas so I’m sending some of our rain clouds out Bush with this painting and poem.
“Patter,Patter”
“Patter, patter..... Boolcoomatta,
Adelaide and Oodnadatta,
Pepegoona patched and dry,
Laughs beneath a dripping sky
And In the Mallees’ sun-scorched towns,
In the sheds on Darling Downs,
In the huts at Yudnapinna,
Tents on Tidnacoordininna,
To the sky all heads are craning-
For it’s raining - raining - raining.”
CJ Dennis- 1918
