Last Wednesday I had resigned myself to losing the obs and it's contents, due to the expanding fire at Hill End / Tambaroora. Located where a simple and predicted wind change would have dumped the embers on us in less than 45mins.
Luckily, 8mm at 0030hrs this morning have given us a bit of a reprieve.
Delighted to read the gauge this morning, despite the expired ash /burnt leaf which was also in there.
Life in the bush!
