Is it someone who loves rain? Because a pluviometer measures rain fall. I'm sad because I've got a weather station in the garden.

Tina,
Perth was named by (I think) Governor Stirling, after his home town in Scotland.
When I first came to the West I lived in Stirling Road which ran off Stirling Highway! - quite a popular name!

Yes please Lily..the elephant is a lovely creature, very family orientated, vegetarian, and always looking out for their own
When near the end of life, they won't burden the herd, but go off to an isolated spot to fall asleep Awww! (Elephants graveyard)
Closest relative - wee clue? not a weasel is it

Couldn't think of the elephants relative either - so cheated
Who'd have thought, a huge elephant with such a cute little cousin
Won't give it away Lily
