Have a look deep into BOM site and you will find a listing of all weather stations in Australia.
Now do a count and you will see they have closed down hundreds in Victoria in the last few years.
Ballarat for instance had about 5 stations scattered around the area. Now there is only ONE and that is 6km from the city.
Porepunkah's station is 75km away. Thats why you have difficulty figuring out what the weather is, or going to be.
