Every time the Canangra Odoratums (ylang ylang) form their fleshy seed pods, fruit eating birds from the valley and forest congregate to feast on these delicious morsels. Flocks of figbirds compete with the wonderful Wompoo Pidgeon, who cannot resist seeing these bothersome hordes off the branches. There is so much fruit you wonder why he has to be so vigilant.
Rain is pouring down and tracks and gullies are running and tumbling with fresh clear water, down to fill the stoney creek. The power is off and it is dark. Somewhere I can hear a vehicle is bogged and men are shouting and revving engines trying to pull it out. Almost feels like a cyclone is coming.
Will soon get the fire going and bring life into the house.
