Mid Autumn In Illowa

Quite typical mid Autumn weather behind the cloud cover of gray Out of view in the mid evening the sun it is hidden away A freshening wind blowing from the ocean that has it's source in Gorman's Bay And blowing with a slight coastal drizzle it is raining in Illowa today A few days ago humid and sunny in April the weather changes with the direction of the breeze In a few days a huge drop in temperature from thirty down to fifteen degrees And yet the day it is quite pleasant quite cool with light drizzly rain And though the paddocks look green they are quite dry and not one drop of water in any drain The migratory snow white cattle egrets are back in Illowa with the grazing herd they spend their day Feasting on the tiny grass insects that from big trampling hooves fly out of the way They arrive in the Moyne Shire in April and leave from mid to late Spring To migrate it is in their Nature and Nature is an amazing thing The rain has cleared the sun peeps through the cloud cover in Illowa a typical Autumn day A freshening breeze blowing above the paddocks that has it's source in Gorman's Bay.
