A hirsute old hippie who is trying to age disgracefully. This blog is purely an attempt to share the beauty of Cambrian ,particularly the seasons ,with all those wonderful people who sadly mostly only stay for a short visit. It lays no great claims for its photographic or literary content,only a desire to share.

Hidden lake
Hi. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year [over most of NZ] 35-40 degrees .Then last night it rained ALL night, today I am having to duck and weave amongst the new growth on my trees !!!!! what fantastic growing conditions .What's more amazing is that yesterday a group of neighbours took a 4WD expedition into the hills to visit the hidden lake on Mt StBathans,it's at about 5000ft and on the western end ,DEFINITELY 4wd
territory,hot dusty and awe inspiring ,getting home about 7pm.The only way I could cool off was by jumping in a 44gal drum of cold water ,that cooled me down .Then an hour later the rain began ,talk about good timing ,just heard that we got 3inches of rain ,that's a lot for us.So today I am a happier man than usual ,I can just about see my trees growing !Here's some photos from the trip .
cheers
