Rain

Might give you an idea.

Around your part of the Murray Darling basin. Absolutely stuff all.
Plenty of dust blowing about though

A news item on TV a few days ago said that most of what had fallen in the upper reaches would be held in the dams for cotton irrigation and virtually none would go to the lower system.

Mate up that way said the other day that the Darling is about 4 m at Wilcania, expecting to peak at 6 m.
Running into the Menindie Lakes real good apparently.
And boy from the last time I saw the Darling about 3 years ago, it would be a great sight to actually see water in it again.
Havent been there lately so cannot confirm, but have no need to doubt his word.

The upper reaches of the Paroo/Cooper/Thompson are currently listed as flooding. The Paroo/Warego and Bollon have been flowing and flooding for almost 4 weeks The Condamine was in flood at Warwick last week.

Blackall received 134mm yesterday and from the BOM pages the entire catchment of these rivers have been getting a bucket full today.

I read somewhere that they have released about 257 whatevers from the Menindi Lakes in the past week with more to come.

Friends near Charleville get two mails per week and they have had 3 of the last 14. They have grass to the top of the fences and nothing to eat it except the endangered species (Kangaroos)
Another property near Augathella can't shear becaused it's raining - 100mm yesterday - and the blowflies are killing the sheep at a rate of knots because of the wet/humid conditions.

Hi Scoof.

Get out your rain boots. The rains are a coming!!!.

The low in outback qld is certainly producing plenty of rain which will end up in the Murray Darling basin.The front is apparently on its way to victoria via outback NSW.
