I have been doing a fair bit of observing this last fortnight, seeing not always brilliant but observing non the less, so I am quite happy that I cannot do any observing as It is hissing down with rain at the moment and I am quite happy to be sitting indoors, because we need the rain, so send her down hughey(spelling)

I'm with you Ron.
Our tanks were nearly empty, the creek had stopped running and the dam was dropping lower every day. So bring it on!
We've got water running down the driveway and heading for the dam. Yippee!

hope you get plenty of it jjjnettie.. theres some heavy falls moving through coastal nsw right now .

Its been one of the wettest years I can remember on the coast here
which is very cruel when so many just a little north and west arn't getting any rain .. 210 mm overnight back a few months and a few other
heavy falls was such a waste to dump all on one little area .

good luck

The rain filled my tank up so I can relax for a while but we could do with a bit more

They even have a suburb called Mc Leod Having a suburb called sunshine is perhaps a bit optimistic tho I lived in Melboune for 4 years.

We pick up 20mm in the last 24hrs. The dam has increased by 1cm and the creek is now trickling.
I'm looking forward to watching the paddocks green up.
