Recent rain has meant the creeks are flowing again in the area.... and one little stream here at the sams creek property only runs for a few days after very heavy rain (which means it can be years in between appearances). Last week was one of those rare times - so it was time to take an encyclopaedia out for a walk.....
or rather, for a dunk in the soon-to-be-gone-again stream....

(naturally the page is opened to the entry on the water cycle)
