The rainfall in this country varies a lot by location. Canterbury (the province where I live) gets pretty dry in summer. I think Akaroa often has water restrictions. The West Coast, just on the other side of the mountains, gets absolutely drenched. Fiordland is one of the wettest places in the world. The reason for this disparity is that the prevailing north-west wind makes an excellent example of a Föhn wind as it heads over the alps. > The heron is a handsome fellow apparently in full breeding plumage (which he > should be at this time of the year). Much fancier than our herons. Yes but your elephants and lions are much fancier than our cows and sheep :) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
