Good morning weather folks :)
The first showers are just hitting us here, such a nice smell and feeling.
Hope you all get a drink over the next few days, forecast looks like a wet week or so..
Cheers

Yep Bunyip it looks like the Wet is starting up....
We got a bit wet heading out in the boat yesterday from both the squally weather and the bit of a sea that it threw up but then it cleared up to a glorius day and glassy water..Water Visibility was amazing and then the Nor-easter and chop picked up around lunchtime...
P!ssing down currently for the past couple of hours under a convergence zone ..got up an hour or so back to turn off creek gravity feed mainline and turn on emergency tank and check that some new drainage was doing its work.....also drove the ute across the creek to be able to get our 2 wwoofers out to the bus at 9am..depending on rainfall intensity come sun-up they may have to wade or walk the long way across a Tully sugar tramline bridge up the back..either way I doubt they will be happy but we have to do what we have to do..!
No more moving sprinklers or handwatering trees this season though..

62mm here this morning :)
Sure seems like wet season rain ..
All part of the adventure of living up here Scott, be a good feeling not having to water.
I sprayed my lawn with Grazon last week and am leaving it to slowly die before I mow, want it to get a good kill
so it is a bit longer than I would like , but all the weed going yellow is looking good.
Will be time to start cutting a few things and just sticking them in the ground to strike.
Cheers

Looks fairly wet in Kans today.
Power went out about 2 hours ago, Just got my starlink out and running on 12v :)
After 20mins searching for the lead, pushed up under the back seat in my ute.
$8.50 for dialup speeds on stand by rate, perfect for this type of use.
Cheers

12.5mm in the gauge this morning, another 46.5 until 3pm. It's been steady rain with a couple of heavier spells. No water running off the yard yet so it has been soaking in which is good.
Dec: 37.5mm
YTD: 2826.5mm

8 inchs on the old scale here in this event.. Looks like a nice big wet blob over bunyips house ATM...Another wet morning for you mate..! Sounds like you had some nice steady rain at your place SM...Must be looking nice and green around cairns is it..? We are just heading up for a morning swim in the hopefully nice clean running water which will be a fantastic change and hopefully the leaves have been flushed out.....Went up yesterday but didnt brave the fast-flowing chcocolate deluge..

We ended up with 92.5mm this morning with showers still hanging around. That's 105mm for the event so far.
It's amazing what a couple of days of rain does to the lawn Scott. Everything is looking a lot greener already.
The good falls on the Cassowary and Daintree coasts are great to see.
Dec: 130mm
YTD: 2919mm
