Little boy dances for joy at seeing rain for the first time
A little boy who has never seen rain in his life has spent the morning watching on in joy and dancing in mud puddles after a downpour hit his family’s farm in NSW.
The 18-month-old’s mum shared a video of him running around their property in Scone, saying “wow!” as he tried to figure out what was going on.
“Our boy just couldn’t contain his excitement,” his mother Tiffanie McKenzie wrote on Facebook.
He can be seen dancing around as the mud puddles around his feet.
Others from drought affected areas are thrilled about the long-awaited rain.
Green Valley Farm in Tingha, NSW, has been drenched as the area has been hit with 75 mls of rain.
Mudgee also received a lot of rain and Katoomba near the NSW Blue Mountains has had rain create a mist over the mountain tops.
The NSW SES has urged residents in fire-affected areas, according to 9News, to take care as there is now a risk of flash flooding, falling trees and landslides as wet weather impacts the fire grounds.
