Last night
Broken Hill North had 57mm of water delivered in the form of precipitation.
As I type 12.07 pm CST it is still bucketting down.
It's the best fall I've seen since 1992 when I first lobbed here.

Richard
The rain will bring on more feed for stock as
well as plants like the Sturt Desert Pea.
It may also minimise fire risk to areas that have had a large body of grass.
Also, it may encourage others to visit the area while it is looking so good.

Richard,
Good falls in Central & Western Qld too.
196mm in
Cloncurry, 221mm @ Augustus Downs and both Flinders & Landsborough H'ways closed. Only 25mm in
winton, but still useful. Winds are, or have been a little cyclonic, but little damage around here.
Drove from
Barkly Homestead to
Longreach yesterday, and it rained all the way, from
Avon Downs, through to
Longreach. Heaps of water around
McKinlay, and back to the 'Curry.
After the many fires, over the past couple of months, it'll be very welcome!
Bob.

Off topic. Looking at your picture, being towed makes a mess.
Cheers

Ha ha, yes it does!
Not too bad on black soil, Old Girl, but that red, hilly country powders quickly, and gets into EVERYTHING. Always good to have a hot shower at end of the day.
