Rain

Cue – 23.04.2001

We leave our friends Jo and Tom at 10.30 a.m. and head north. Our progress is slow because of the heavy load. It rains for long stretches and the sky looks threatening, promising unpleasantly wet weather. Everywhere we stop we hear that it is raining here for the first time in months. Everyone is happy to have the water they need to survive. Shortly before dusk, we reach a station behind the small gold mining town of Cue where tourists can also spend the night. The friendly station owner gives us the house where the sheep shearers lived a few years ago. It is a wonderful, tidy accommodation with its own kitchen and many rooms. If our boys weren’t waiting for us in the north, we could well imagine spending a few days here.
