**_January…_**

Searing humid heat

or Cyclones and flooding rains

What a summer break!

*

_February…_

Soggy start at school

Lush green grass shoots from the earth

Unrestrainable!

*

**_March…_**

Cooler fine weather

Frolics… picnics, camping, swims

Perfect time of year.

*

**_April…_**

Showers and sunshine

Easter… family gath’ring

Celebrates Jesus.

*

**_May…_**

Farewell, autumn leaves

Evergreens still paint our days

As winds turn chilly.

*

**_June…_******

****

Frost calls in Winter

Rug up with beanies and coats

Throng round the fireplace.

*

July…

Mizzle and mud greet

Crowds at our Annual Show…

Food, fireworks and fun.

*

**_August…_**

Winter’s last “Hurrah”

School Athletics Carnival

Sprints, hurdles and more.

*

**_September… _**

Sweet Spring’s back again

Crater lakes welcome swimmers

And hikers alike.

*

**_October…_**

Rainbow Lorikeets

Squabble beneath the purple

Jacaranda trees.

*

**_November…_**

Canoes, barbecues

Dodge afternoon storms with glee

Frost burnt lawns revive.

*

**_December…_**

Summer holidays

Turn the spotlight on Christmas

Another year lived!
