I love this beautiful time of year when the rains arrive and the forest comes alive. Just a week ago the creek bed was dry, but with the first proper rains our creek was in full flow. 24 hours later it’s slowed to a gentle stream and is the perfect swimming hole for our guests to cool off.

The rains have also brought a lot of new trees into flower, including our beloved mangosteens.

Here’s the creek in full flow a few days ago. Very calming to watch!
