Yep, might be another 20mm in it for us, more in the catchment regions to our South which missed out in the last week.
Eppalock is still languishing on 54%. Coliban and Campaspe Rivers barely flowing.
I was in Echuca last week - the Murray is certainly carrying quite a bit of water downstream - a good flush.
That is very surprising, I crossed the headwaters of the Campaspe right up on the divide at Ashbourne yesterday and even there it waa flowing very well.
The Coliban at Trentham Falls was flowing nicely and the Little Coliban at Tylden Quarry was up high too. Quite odd that that isnt translating to good flows into Eppalock. I think the Upper Coliban storages are full aren't they?
Typical four seasons in one day here on Mt Macedon. We even managed a brief period of proper snow under that intense coldie around 3pm. Temp dipped dramatically around then.
Home- "Shepherd's Bush" at Mt Macedon. 870m
Work- "Bolobek" at Macedon. 430m

3rd time right in the firing line
One of those days that James says never happens anymore haha.
3 storms with thunder in one day. Pretty good i reckon.
Could well end up with 50-80mm this week in the south-east looking at some of the progs.
Got one rumble here, about a minute of hail and nearly 2mm of rain. Frustrating watching those cells pass just south of the Nongs Funny sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Showers slowing easing now. Not quite the exciting follow up event I was hoping for at this point.
Looks like it'll be mostly dry here for the next week. Maybe something next week according to EC, but GFS now has nothing (except for Central Australia which has been very dry lately).
Wild and wooly day yesterday with showers, hail, thunder, gales, snow in the alps etc classic winters day just a bit warmer and stronger sun.
Cold windy one today easing tonight, nice tomorrow then next front tomorrow night with another band of rain for south and mount and just showers north of the ranges then cold, windy, showers Thursday then maybe few weak fronts on weekend some mild days in there too
Active period atm but pattern looks to change again maybe in about a week or so fun times love this time of year
Bit late getting up this morning and forgot to post
8mm in the gauge this morning. Nice day tomorrow ahead of a gusty showery change for Thursday. Pattern repeats for Friday and Saturday classic spring weather.
Mtd about 50mm so tracking ok. Had three below average months in a row here so happy to be getting this. Tis still very damp, largely due to the big falls earlier in winter.
Of interest, this fall doesn't show very well on the Melbourne Radar 128km cumulative rainfall graphic. I've noticed this a few times; sometimes it gets it, sometimes not!

A surprise 6mm here to 9am.

9.2mm here. Bit more than I expected so no complains. Nice but chilly day ahead with sun poking through.
I'm guessing there was a pretty good topographic signal and the rain clouds were pretty shallow. The radar beam often misses a fair bit of rain under these circumstances (as it's passing through the clouds quite high up at your radius Gordon).
4.4mm here overnight. Cumulative rainfall on the radar is often a bit out for our area as well, maybe due to variations in topography. But it happens to be spot on for last night's rain.
5mm here, almost at the October average and 635mm YTD which is above average. The gardens have really responded to the higher rainfall, my grevilleas and kangaroo paws are spectacular
