12mm down here and a bit humid and drizzly..

Do we think thats it for the Monsoon and any other potential cyclones..?..SST is currently just over 27c..

Interesting thoughts about the feed content and sappy growth there Bunyip..I remember seeing some covered movable feed troughs around the paddocks at Blenners..id imagine they would suppliment high protein feed during such periods and to attain the required fat scores as i never seen any actual farming or forage crops done there....It was originally a dairy farm and so have silos ther for grain storage then they grew bananas on it..its very nice red volcanic soil on the hills running to alluvial soil on the creek flats.......they also put out a lot of Urea or some nitrogen ferts..you can regularly see the lines on the hills where in patchs the fert spreader didnt quite reach....Some of it is very steep country and I'm stuffed if I'd be driving a tractor down some of the ridgelines there...about 30 years ago a mate of mine who adjoins there property heard faint screams in the distance and upon investigating found one of the Blenners trapped underneath a rolled tractor on a steep hillside..Very lucky man to make a full recovery..
