The 13th May 2009 was both a bad and good day for the elephants of the Mathews range in the area overseen by the Milgis Trust and their Scouts. It was a bad day because yet another baby elephant had fallen down one of the wells in the lower Milgis lugga at a place called Kudup and it was a good day in that a huge downpour of rain relieved the long and severe drought that had taken such a devastating toll of many young elephant lives, several milk dependent older calves having been found already dead from both drought and thirst, unable to reach the water in deep wells, or who had lost their mother to poachers.
