Yup - I agree with you John. Our lawns and flower beds are stuffed. Completely. I hope that one day we'll get them back because right now they're a lost cause. We also have 500 tube stock plants of various native varieties going on our rear patio. We've bought them back up to Sydney from Omaroo so that we can water them - otherwise they'd last a week down in Cooma on their own. I want it to rain for weeks. Astronomy can wait I'm afraid.
I just want it to clear up for tonight's viewing session at UWS Observatory where we're running a public night....
