  1. (continued from previous page)
    The river sounding high is a sign of good weather.
    When the wind is coming from Dowra it is a sure sign that there will be storm
    When the sun goes down red good weather is promised.
    The ass playing is a great sign of rain
    When the floor sweats, it shows us that there will be good weather
    The crane going down the river is a great sign of good weather
    The little birds leaving their nests and flying about is a great sign of floods
