A small amount of rain amounted from this threatening storm. Other than some very pretty clouds and the obligatory rainbow, our south western district somehow completely missed out on the drenching, sometimes deluging rains that the rest of the eastern seaboard seems to be complaining of. Water tank and water body levels dropping. Will probably need to buy water soon.
Another 40 odd mm of rain last night combined with the 64mm in 2 hours last Friday means there’s only 3 words I have: wet, wet, wet. Unlike our neighbors, we didn’t have our paddocks, driveways, and sheds wash away, although we did experience some scouring in the bend of our drive as the torrent came through. Our emergency trenching when we had the 90+mm downpour on that day in August has served us well…
The wetland started filling after the deluge of 10 Aug 2010, having been dry for almost 4 years. Ducks appeared the very next day. No nesting swans yet.
