Isn't it wonderful! Hope it's been widespread. We've had some rain in recent months that has always bypassed poor Goulburn just up the highway. Much as we have needed it, they have needed it more. They have had no outside watering for I don't know how long.

RE: rain

g'day macbirch,

great to see some getting some rain from time to time, but this is not wide spread, our pundants where building up the expectations of those of us in s/e qld to expect some of this rain, but alas they where wrong yet again i thnk the best was around 5mm south of brissy, we got 1.25mm.

fingers crossed this out of season cyclone may do the right thing.

RE: rain

Pierre? I just checked ABC News Online and it said it's been downgraded and is heading north so the Torres Strait area may get some rain in a few days. So sorry you're missing out.

They're saying this is the beginning of the end of the drought but they said that last time it rained and they were saying it this time last year too. Still, it sure was a nice sound on the roof and the ground was nice and soft when I went out to do the weeding this morning. Bit of a shock how bad the garden's gotten since the weather started to cool down and I stopped keeping a close eye on it. The weeds don't need much rain at all to get going. Too many empty spaces but the water restrictions discourage one from planting. Can't help thinking about the farmers. My little garden dilemmas pale in comparison.
