A very timely Christmas Wish

 

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.

 

I wished the second stanza of Dorothea Mackellar's famous poem 'My Country' would come true, especially those flooding rains, of which we've seen nothing for many months.

Not a rain cloud in sight; just thick smoke from all those bushfires surrounding us.
