Was just outside and it's pooring and also noticed on BOM that this rain front moved in from the north over the dams. Lets hope we can avoid that level 4 in Oct.

Kind regards

Mate, the pleasure was all mine. Welcome any time. Although you have a good starting point in the Rodeo, I will be keen to see the progress on yours as you add the extras you want, should make for a really nice set-up. If you ever need a hand putting those extras on your truck, I have a shed full of goodies to help make any 5 minute job turn into an all nighter. (I know a few of the regular forumites will be in the background laughing but I was talking about my engel and waeco full of Bourbon hahahahahaha).

Cheers Trevor.

PS I hope you got the email addy I sent you.

We,ve had 20 mm here in Nanango, but not enough to get things flowing in the Brisbane Rv head waters about 30 ks east of us, and Jimna has had about 23 mms.
Hopefully get the grass growing here thought.
Cheers Bruce.

I am amazed to Ray. Most gutsy pollies would just make a decision, not the Queenslanders, make the voters squirm fist.

Ultra filtration can take the bacteria out of the water, it is energy costly though. Plenty of use for some of that nuclear power

Haven't you heard, we are not even allowed to fill the bird's water so as to leave enough water for all the Mexicans to have a scrub on their annual migration up here.

No haven't heard much apart from on here, we have our own resrictions to worry about and it doesn't want to rain much this year, I've recorded 198mm in the back yard so far, about 150mm under average. Gotta keep those tourists happy Trev, the state would collapse without the old mexicans visiting for their arthritis worries.
Hopefully todays drop has done some good.

Driving us crazy up here. Gold Coast Dam is running a banker 98% (or something like that) but 1 hour to the north (around Brissy) and all dams are under 30% and dropping FAST. I am not sure today's rain would have done all that much in the catchment areas but some is better than none at the moment.

Cheers, Trevor.

yeah I think most of the country is suffering, we're down to 25%, some part of Vic are down to 10% with dry and warmer then average weather being predicted by the BOM for the next few months. Heaven help us if we run out.

Ray, we are about 20mm below average to the end of June here, but it has been all in fits and starts. Stuff all in March, near double avearge in April. I really can't see where it is all heading, but a year to be wary of.
