This is what we were waiting for: the pictures tell all. With any luck the drought has broken. From being warm and dry last week, it's now strikingly cold in the hills, foggy, misty ... and RAINING! Now, if it'll just keep this up for the next month, we'll be fine.
Dave and I just took a drive in the hills, and I grabbed these shots through the windscreen ... rolled down the window once or twice to get something to the side. What you see is exactly what it was like on Mount Bonython, and at Piccadilly. Nice!
Driving conditions weren't actually as bad as the photos make them seem. Sure, the roads are twisty-turny enough to worry folks who're not used to places like the Adelaide Hills (couldn't believe the way the Grampians are signed! Road hazard? What road hazard? Where?), but visibility was at least 100 meters almost everywhere, even in places where you could see the mist blowing in surf-like waves across the road.
Now, ye weather gods: more of same, please! It's technically still autumn, but feels like winter...
