Stuff falling from the sky

Seems if may be raining:

On Sunday we had 95mm, of which 75mm fell in 90 minutes!
My drive gravel, or most of it is currently languishing in my workshop!
I am near Walhalla.

Did the dog respond? They sometimes can foresee catyclismic events such as this. I have 2 dogs that know as soon as the sky changes colour from blue to grey, (how they do this is beyond me as dogs can't see colours,) that they should get in their kennels and hide from me because they know that when that stuff starts falling from the sky I approach them with a bottle of stuff they don't like because it smells pleasant to me and makes their coats smell pleasant to me as well & the stuff falling from the sky washes it away and they end up clean and sparkling & dogs don't like that...
Have you ever noticed that a dog that hates being washed will brave 10' breakers at the beach to retrieve the dead sea bird that they have been rolling in.

The dogs must be wrong as today's latest theory is that gobal warming and global cooling are both caused by cosmic rays.

Although I'm not quite so certain as I was reading a new tender for rail cars today and it called for ability "withstanding hail stones of up to 140mm"

Maybe they something we don't

Kim, i think the stuf you experienced is the same stuf thats falling from the skys up north. I'm not sure but it sounds similar.
Hope this helps
cheers pips ;)

Many of those things fell here too kim, they made nice patterns on the ground, they did not join up however.

35km from here they had 76mm in 10 mins. Many things fell there. they joined up

Try Anti dandruff shampoo and lay off the grog!
Cheers

I did hear a rumour that you can capture that stuff and mix it with expensive stuff you get from servos and actually wash your car with it? Not sure my car could stand it but I am told that in the remote past cars were "washed" regularly. is that so?

I know what it is. Its called 'sky money'. Reason I know this is because i remember tales as a kid about money falling from the sky to the hero after saving the world. Obviosly this on its own does not mean its sky money, but I can confirm that the government is currently in secret negotiations to work out how to manage this 'sky money' in a massive reshuffle of power. Apparently they are spending 10 billion just to protect this sky money with the people who live in areas with more heroes who get more sky money are setting up a market to sell their sky money to the city people (filthy city people dont have sky money and are on rations because they are not heroes). Also backyard operations are reported as starting to set up small scale plastic vaults attached to their houses to capture then secretly retain wayward sky money which could fall near their house, these poeple are not heroes and dont deserve their sky money and so the government has set up a secret hotline to allow ordinary citizens to report sky money horders who use their sky money unlawfully. So to those out there who are genuine heroes, you can use your sky money in any noble way you wish, but if you are not a hero and have gotten your sky money from other sources, dont be seen spending your sky money in public or you will be reported by someone you know or someone you dont. Yep, i recon its sky money.

In our local '$2 shop' - they're selling cans of DEHYDRATED RAIN - the instructions say "just add water".

We had a couple of drops of that stuff they call rain up here in Townsville recently too......

someone throw a bucket of dirt over this bloke to bring him round will they..

Commiserations about coming from Victoria mate. :))
