Monkey sighting

Nadine came around this afternoon she has her Niece and Nephew staying with her from the country for a few days, she brought them with her along with Ruby, after a play in the park, there was enough time left for a climb up the tree, of course anything her cousin can do Ruby can do just as well. Another 4 weeks before they go back to school, they are enjoying their Summer holidays, they are off to Sydney next weekend, a family trip that has been panned for over a year, they will have to drive along some of the burnt roads and highways to get to their destination which (at the moment) is free from fires.
Its a bit of a worry thinking of family travelling to the Eastern States, we are hoping the worst will be over in a weeks time, thankfully they have had a cooler day with rain which has helped, but they still cant afford to be complaisant, there is a 2 billion dollar restoration plan from the government    inlace for the next two years to rebuild homes, roads and infrastructure to the small towns that have all but been wiped out, its very desperate indeed, thousands of wildlife has gone, but a lot have been saved too, we are hoping when this cool change ends at the weekend for them that the fire fighters have managed to get a hold on the worst hit areas.
