Oh bugga :( have we got censorship issues here ? Yes Dormant would love a storm or 2 , bloody hot out on the mower doing a few acres for a neighbor while they get away. Not really my thing mowing all day , like to do my place around daylight or just before and its all over by 08:00 and I can admire ...

100% Marakai ... Hickory I would still be interested in what you had to say ! Censorship is uncalled for and a slippery slope for the eternally offended... Don't really see much in the way of wet stuff for the next few days either :( Been bloody hot but , So will it be an March / April wet ? I see t...

Good yarn Marakai ..And some good falls around the place, can't for the life of me understand why Bushy has not been upgraded. How hard would it be to put 100m of box culverts down on the cement base and build up the road. Damn stupid being closed at .3 Well only 14 mm here this morning . Looks like...

185mm over here
Creeks have had a good flush now
Few trees down and a few small slips around the cuttings.

Beautiful night of rain and light show.


Cheers

Great rain in Kans this morning , pity we are missing it with only 24mm here.

Been loving the wet stuff, tanks are full again..lol
But would love a good flood day .

So happy to see rain has made it inland and even got some rivers running . Hopefully even the Darling will get a flow.



Cheers

48mm here this morning. New Modem and wall socket ect ect and ADSL is up and running again. Gutters still disconnected as the rain has just been soft and still a lot of flowers on the roof , need a real down poor too clean it . filled plenty of water bottles and the kitchen fountain thing. Yeah the ...

Good to hear you got a drink at last Marakai :) I dropped our drinking water tank out yesterday as the Evodia tree flowers have turned the water and changed the taste. Tank all clean now just waiting on rain. Hopefully this low can push a lot of moisture down into inland QLD and setup a good season....

HI Marakai , Thought you would of had some good falls after what was seen passing. Watch a storm cell pass Monday as I was rolling grass seed in to some new pasteur , missed us by 100m . Storm on friday gave us 1mm , but took out my modem and adsl line so I'm hotspotting from my phone with crap serv...

G'Day folks,

Another 68mm to add this morning.
Be nice to get the mower over the place but not complaining , just love the wet stuff.


Cheers

Thanks RD.. I don't spend as much time looking at all the charts ect now days and scraped my catalog of links in a clean up some time ago.
That link is just what I needed.

Another 71mm over here this morning

Happy Friday
Cheers

Hey guys and girls :) Beautiful night of rain in the Daintree. Raindammit : can you share a link to the GFS you are using ? I can't seem to use the page from the BSCH , don't know if it's changed a link or something. Off to a great start in 2020 with 317mm in just 9 days .. Link to my chart is now l...

First off Happy New Year to all you keen weather watchers :) A beautiful night of storms and rain after showers and small storms on and off most of yesterday. 140mm in my gauge this morning. I had 48mm for Saturday morning . Now the creeks are running again and the frogs and toads are all happy. It ...

:) Was hoping to read Marakai had had a nice total and even 28° should of got something. I had 19mm in the gauge this morning and it was just loverly storm rain full of goodies for the gardens and pastures . After I unplugged the modem and tech , I went out and was cleaning leaves from the downpipe ...

Oh yeah this is more like it.

Dormant will be unplugged , and I'm about to pull the plug on the modem.


Send it down.

Hello weather watchers :) Hope you all had a happy and safe Christmas.. Nice thunder and flashes well before dawn , but sweet FA , as dormant says cross the coast south and sit just off as they travel north. Plenty of marsh/march flies up our way and down along the river. No the fella that went back...

I've been watching Landline on the ABC for a while now, and can only say our problems are miniscule compared to the rest of the country. We are mostly guaranteed of rain up here,- below normal or whatever,- we will get rain soon, - - down south may not. :( Yeah it is unbelievable just how much of o...

Good too see you here Marakai , I wonder who else will come out of the wood work as we enter the real season of weather .. No good on the feed mate that sux , some local hay here was violets too and charging top dollar. Been flat out bumpering up some country . Wanted to burn today before rain this ...
