Dry as a bone

So we are staying in kokonga funny name I know I was told to pronounce it like coconut with the T, there you go now you have it.
We are staying with a friend in his cottage, behind the cottage is the famous Bike the rail trail, history below
The original railway line was completed at the turn of the 20th century, and provided a link between Central Otago and Dunedin until closure in 1990. The first 64 km from the junction with the Main South Line in Wingatuire main operational; the initial 4 km form ONTRACK's Taieri Industrial Siding and the remaining 60 km through the Taieri Gorge to Middlemarch is operated by the Taieri Gorge Railway as a tourist attraction. The New Zealand Department of Conservation recognised that the remainder of the route to Clyde had potential as a recreational facility, and bought the formation after the rails and sleepers had been salvaged.
Since, the trail has come to be recognised as an important feature of the region, highlighted for example by strong interest from numerous groups in a 2011 workshop, where 120 people attended to discuss the further future of the trail, and how to encourage users to stay in the area for longer.
Bruce and I did this a few year ago with friend we had a great time.
So this was taken late afternoon behind P house dark sky the sheep seem to be doing well, all this area is as dry as this image, we need rain
