barren wasteland is barren.
Here at Beech Forest it absolutely pi55ed down most of last night and all this morning. It’s even raining pretty steadily for the whole of the last week. My tank (30,000 litres) has been overflowing for days.
I drove to Apollo Bay this morning through Lavers Hill and along the ocean road past Johanna. Parts of the road were under water. Between the time I drove through Weeaproinah on the way down, and the time I drove through it on the way back, a tree had fallen right across the road, and been chainsawed into pieces and cleared away. There was still greenery all over the road, but it was pretty impressive work by the SES.

Nah we live in about the most productive land in the State, pity they build houses on it. Our valley has three river flowing into it and lots of water at th emoment, but not much rain in the valley ever.

I have fond memories of “apple valley”, used to race at the motocross track there. Simpler times…
Wimmera River weir at Horsham overflowing
As for SW WA!
It’s kind of perfect rain.
At night. Winning.
Loud enough to hear.
Not annoying mist that’s of use to no bugger.
Not loud enough to make you worry about leaks or flooding or damage.

Ended up with 205mm, which is 25mm (an inch) more than the previous July record and more than double the July average.

I always thought you were overflowing with goodness.

Lake Hindmarsh near Jeparit starting to fill for the first time in a decade.
Bob Menzies helping hand from above to his home town.
More likely to be a lava flow if it’s originating from where Menzies resides these days.
Where all fark Carlton fans/Liberals go.
Wow, short sharp dump of hail here Northside.

I hope we get it, but we’ve had a lot of days when quite a bit has been forecast but it’s ended up missing Melbourne.

Praying it stays the hell away. Had more than enough for this year.
The Spring roller coaster is about to commence.
27C in parts of Melbourne today, close to 15C by the weekend. Back into the 20s by mid-next week.
The gardens have well and truly come to life.
20mm away from the Olympic Park year-to-date average (roughly 398mm) … expect we will exceed that by late tomorrow.

They’re expecting a very wet spring and summer all down the east coast due to prevailing La Nina conditions - according to a show I saw on the weekend.
What? No!! Last I knew it was still neutral.
Edit: Phew, yep, still is.
Maybe it was the Indian Ocean Dipole they were on about? Predicted still negative for Spring.
Catchments looking very healthy. In fact the highest September figure since 1996.
Wow. We just beat the figure in 2013 at the end of the 15 year drought.
Mind you some of that has been assisted by desalinated water purchases. We probably would not have reached that level without it.
