On top of that we ware told this morning that there is another tropical low in the Coral Sea which is expected to turn into a Cyclone and head down here by the weekend. Hopefully, it will veer off course and head out to sea.
Anyway, yesterday, we were able to have our weekly Parkinson Walk and headed to the Quarry Gardens. It was a perfect day, cloudy, not too hot and DRY.
Because of all the rain the waterfalls were running well and plants flourishing.
Here are a few.
We have a horticulturalist in our group and she was able to tell us that this is a Clerodendrum.
We took our refreshments in our packs and enjoyed them at a picnic table on our walk.
Let's hope for fine weather next week and that the cyclone goes elsewhere.
Nice to see the waterfalls flowing well, at least!
ReplyDeleteHope the cyclone misses you and stays further north out to sea!
Yes, the waterfalls were running well. Fingers crossed that this new one misses us Auckland and the Coromandel.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they cyclone will not eventuate. You guys have had more than enough rain already.
ReplyDeleteAnd Auckland and Coromandel in particular. Let's hope it goes out to sea.
DeleteYou must have had all OUR rain. After a very wet Autumn and end to 2022, we've now had a totally dry beginning to to 2023, which looks like continuing.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good. It is so much nicer dog walking (and doing everything else) in fine weather. Won't be long and you will be off on your summer holidays in France.
DeleteI've only been to the quarry gardens once so I'm sure it's changed since then. Yes I'm hoping the cyclone veers off, no ond needs more rain.
ReplyDeleteA lot of work has been done at the Quarry Gardens. A bit of rain would be ok as the garden has dried out but not a storm.
ReplyDeleteI havent been the the quarry garden but it looks lovely.
