This image may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's an effective drought statement all the same.

Taken at Lake Kurwongbah, where there should have been water, but isn't any now.

One less cane toad has to be a good thing.
Drought however not so good, hopefully we'll all get good rain in the not to distant future.

I saw (and photographed) two dead toads today, but this one was more visually impacting.

As it happens we had some decent rain from a storm this evening, but one storm does not break the drought :(

Yes, enjoying the rain now; but I doubt that it will rehydrate this toad.

I just checked the rain gauge and we've had 20mm up to 10pm today. :)

But it won't do this toad any good (nor would I want it too - they breed far too quickly without having rehydrated zombie toads roaming about as well!)
