Still steady rain where I am in the #MacedonRanges.
My gardening chair. Yup, my back insists I mostly garden while sitting. 🤷♂️
Dead fox line the fence of a local property after several nights of #fox #culling. (I took the photos several years ago)
I woke at 1am with #winds hammering the house & the wheelie bins slamming into our garage door.
Just woke again (highly medicated) with winds & #rain hitting the bedroom windows.
🤗 Still happy at getting some rain. The #weather radar looks encouraging. #MacedonRanges
It’s trying very hard to #rain here!

We are leaving now. Roads were chock full of cars #evacuating & I wanted to power up my devices.
We are headed south.
We learnt scant local history when growing up at Mount Macedon.
We learnt that Major Mitchell climbed and named the mountain. We learnt about the destruction and loss of life during the Ash Wednesday bushfires.
We learnt that the Victorian Governor, Robert Menzies and Derryn Hinch all had mansions here.
But there was never any mention of the significant Indigenous history.
For anyone interested in local history, here is a piece that I've just written.
