This was in bloom along the beach. Think it's the native rosemary.

Yep, and not even wilted. We were out at Wallagoot yesterday and could hardly find a plant worth photographing, as everything looks really stressed.

It's disturbing how little surface water I'm finding in creeks as I move along the coast. Creeks with any water just have stagnant pools. Even Bondi Lake's level is much lower than my last visit.

I was able to walk across Bondi Lake in April 2009 it was completely dry.

At least it hasn't reached that level but there are extra metres of shore now. Hopefully significant rains will come soon.

Yep, but a good opportunity to do some walking along creeks and rivers, if you are looking for an up side to the situation.

Been doing that where I can. Hunting for dragonflies and other insects. Been able to get to places I found difficult before.
