Hey Chillie,
Our water supplies are currently at 3.8%.
 That is very bad. However it may improve from here on as you go into winter.
Here's hoping for ya'.
Cheers Marty

Now what did I say, the moon is getting full and sky is now crystal clear.
Chillie, hope you get some rain very very soon.
We went through the same recently, the creek was just a string of puddles and our dam was dry. No water for livestock and only a couple of feet of water in the tanks for us. It's not good living on the edge.

We had a glorious clear evening just to tempt me into setting up. By 8pm it was foggy and no stars to see. I haven't had a clear night in 2 weeks but only 8mm total of rain. I would rather it rained properly or clear up. 
Having said that my tanks are essentially full and there is plenty of water for the animals. Just crap for astronomy.

Hey jjj,
Now what did I say, the moon is getting full and sky is now crystal clear.
What sky were you looking at?
True the sky was a nice clear-ish pale blue this arvo. I didn't hope too confidently it would last.
As day turned to night the clouds dominated. And I may add with a bit of speed.
I noticed a good view of the moon almost full. Aah! I'll take a pix, dash it green in Photoshop, post it on IIS and blame it on that Green sprite.
I ran in picked up the picture maker and aimed at, at,... CLOUDS.
Rats, foiled again.
Cheers Marty

The north coast gets an amplified version of what others experiance to the north .. brisbane ..and to the south off coffs ..
Two days rain = Three days rain here.. this year like last seems fairly similar to last if you look at the whole cycle... I 'm seeing a lot of wet
weather springs starting to run again this year  .. It would be great to send some of this water down south where its needed .

Hey Green Troll Woman,
Bring it on Marty
I'll get some brownie points up, chat to Dad and make it rain Shiraz and Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon with a dash of Merlot on your house.
Its all RED CORDIAL. Heh Heh Heh Ha!
If that don't work I'll throw rocks on yer' roof.
Hmmm! I don't know where ya' house is.
Maybe I'll just email ya' a whole heap of Collingwood photos.
Cheers Marty
