A Wonderful Fernside Winter



As many who have either experienced NZ weather during the last week of July 2008 or have seen or heard of it on the news, here's a couple of pictures of the local "Terrain" taken this past week. Usually the Cust Creek is just a creek (and I often drive through it on my way to work) or, in Summer, when the dodgy new dairy farms are irrigating, it has little to no water in it at all. These two are photos of it taken yesterday, actually 2 days after the height of the floods. We have called it "Mini Mac" (apologies to niece in Wellington) as it looks like a mini version of the Waimakariri when a Nor-West has brought rain and/or melt to the mountain catchment area.
