And back to something we all can relate to

 

[curious2garden]

Close. It's a Quokka.

The quokka (/ˈkwɒkə/, Setonix brachyurus), the only member of the genus Setonix, is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. Like other marsupials in the macropod family (such as kangaroos and wallabies), the quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal.

Quokkas are found on some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia,

Thanks they are very cute!

Nice, how's the water situation now?

 

[ANC]

Think we will be OK until the rainy season comes around again. (about 2 more months) I think total water is about 66%.
Some areas more inland, are desperately dry though. They relaxed the water pricing and restrictions a little too.
These mountains are where the rivers start though, they get super full over winter and are only accessible in the hot season when the water level falls several meters.

That is beautiful!
Are there any fish in the river?

 

[ANC]

Yes there are tiny minnows that are on the CITES red list.
In summer they swim in large schools and will nibble on the dead skin on your feet if you go in the water.
