rain coming
It's exciting rain coming for the weekend. So far in Central Australia Worburton has had over 44mm and Giles has had over 50mm, the wettest July in many years. during saturday the rain is expected to move over South Australia, western Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Some areas of New South Wales they are predicting up to 40mm and this would be the best chance of good rain we've had for a long time. After the rain on wednesay in Central australia Carnegie 's temperature reached 7 degrees the coldest day for 16 years. So we are expecting a cold change after the rain.

Hi Max,
Hope you get the rain that you need. Over here in Southeast England, we have had a hosepipe ban since July last year, with no significant rain through the winter. There has been heavy rain in different parts of the country with flash floods, but not here! Just hope we get a dry week next week, as it is the War & Peace show and we do love the dust that goes with it. Hey, changing the subject, I heard a brief bit on our radio, about a secret tunnel found on the coast near the Great Ocean road (?) in Victoria, any more on this? They said it appeared to be built since the war. Richard |

Wow what a concept
We have had near as I can figure 4mm since january
which is poor even for the desert. Our rainy season is winter but had nothing up to january.This has been the tenth year of drought,and our summers have becoming much hotter and longer. Glad to see someone getting rain. Patrick |

Rain Has Arrived
Hey Max
You were right. Started raining yesterday and still going well. Nice to hear the water finally going into the tanks. Of course now I'm pumping from the house tanks to our main feed tank. Bob |

good rain
Best rain this year so far, sure helped the crops along, put some water into the house tank, all up we had about 29mm.
Richard I thought England would never run out of water. We haven't heard about any tunnel unless the Victorians are keeping it a secret from us. Heard on the news there are record temperatures in America at the moment, perhaps they sshould come here for a while. Max |

Hey Richard,
We have been on "hosepipe" bans ( Water restrictions ) here in Australia for a couple of years. The only place I know of in Australia, where the water runs freely all year around is Corowa - where the sprinklers run 24hours - 7 days a week at the Ball Caravan Park.

We eventually had rain yesterday in this area, seemed to escape it up until now, apparantly around 63mm fell during the day and 31mm of that fell in one hour, which I was witness to. This deluge fell while I was driving to collect my Bedford for a show. Almost like monsoon conditions at the time. Don't think our farmers would have appreciated at this time though as it is in the middle of harvest. Richard |

No Rain
Hi all
Well it's now official, South Australia has recorded it's lowest winter rainfall since records began. Broad acre farmers are starting to put their stock onto the failed crops and even if it rained now it's too late for a lot of them. We are going to experience a scarcity of stock feed next season.

Here
Our problem here is that we have had a very wet month.
In two weeks of the month of august we have 7 inches of rain and they say more is coming. Now this area is a desert,we have been in the middle of a 10 year drought. Most of this rain ended up in mexico as run off... Its a fragile thing this place called home. Patrick |

weather
meanwhile back at Yass we've had a very dry August which is very unusual, I think it's the driest and hottest daytime temperatures for 11 years, and the nights were below average with servere frosts. They are prediciting a change Tuesday so hopefully we get a good soaking.

Rain at last
Finally a decent rainfall! Ganmain Tony's rain gauge was over-flowing this morning. I have about 6 foot of water in my well this morning indicating about 50mm rainfall. I can't remember the last time we had a fall of rain like that!
Now, at last, we can start on the Garden! Did it continue on your way Max??

Rain
We're hoping the place is a little more green & clean for your visit!
'Coz up until yesterday it has been red & dusty. The rain has settled the dust, but we need more rain to make things green...

Rain
28.5mm over three days here in the Hills, combined with two days of gale force winds that I reckon shifted the house six feet South.

Rain?
We missed out altogether. We had a good storm about a fortnight ago, got anout half an inch in 15 minutes.
This year's total rainfall to date has been just on 2 inches. Which sounds crook unless you consider that is a third of last year's total! It will rain eventually. It always rains after a drought. HH
