Belting down in Richmond/Windsor west of Sydney at the moment. Hope it's also falling in that elusive Catchment Area for Warragamba Dam.

All week they have been saying rain, but summer has finally come (for the past week anyway).

Don't know about you, but we are having a really good light show over here in Kellyville.

Rust,

If I'm reading the radar correctly, it should be OK tomorrow. Good luck.

Gramps,
Worked at the Waratahs game tonight and fortuanetly for my camera the rain started just as the game started....... That is when I find a seat and enjoy the game. My family has had the same seat for the past many years and there was a spare seat with them. (I get a restricted access pass but cannot get onto the field or tunnel) So I tried the pass out whilst the fam got very wet. I ended up in corporate box by myself in the dry. Next thing I know after the game I found myself walking though all the sponsors boxes and could go anywhere I wanted........
Anyway here is a pic of the rain at aussie stadium.....Image Could Not Be Found

Lets hope Mount P will be dry for the Newtons Playground will b dry this weekend.......Street Luge down Mount Panarama is going to be insane......... Have been looking forward to this event as soon as I heard about it....

Peter,

Although there was a lot of lightning/thunder and noise from rain on the roof, we only got about 16mm in an hour or two. I guess we're still getting used to this phenomenon - rain !!!

I saw a clip regarding the Street Luge at Mount Panorama. They were talking speeds of around 80kph on a skateboard. That should get their hearts pumping hahahahaha
