A while since I have posted under this heading. Here are three pictures of the semi-desert at Páteo, taken on 27th August 2025.    |

Well if anyone wants to embark on a mass poisoning spree, there is quite a little plantation growing on what is now an unofficial dumping ground in the Oceanville site in Páteo.

Several weeks on, still no rain. Everywhere dry and dusty.    Spotted a whole bunch of these growing in dumped soil in the Oceanville ruins. A type of cactus, which seems right as it is a desert here now.   |

Well, thank you. I must get some more pictures of the desert once I am back next week but I read that it is likely to be raining today and tomorrow, so perhaps not so arid.

Yes, it will be green again in winter, so long as the area hasn't been ploughed too much.

Almost a year on from the previous pictures. It hasn't rained for weeks and the grass has long since died.

The scene near Páteo yesterday. As dry as a bone. There has been some turning of the very stony soil.    |

Thanks, that's clear. I cant say I've seen anyone walking the road route which of course has no footpath.
