Oh wow! In 18 hours you got almost half a years worth of rain for where I live.
Gday All,
Seen the weather mapand noticed the tropical low headed towards Darwin Yesterday morning , so dug the kids old rain guage out and put it on the boat whilst we we selling, put it out at 12 noon and checked it this morning when Iwent down at 7am..It was overflowing..More than 300mls in 18hrs, but I knew it was alot from the amount of water cascading down the boat, but was surprised at that when I seen it..
1 day the government will get serious about finding work for people and solving the water problems and build a pipeline from the north - south..
It was a shame to see it washing into the sea by the truckload..Think it will take a while to clean up around the place too..
Cheers Ean

Yeh I know, what made me go WOW was people still came down the boat to buy prawns.Atleast its not cold rain , so when you get soaked you dont feel frozen to the core..
I had a fridgie come up from Perth, and he thought we were all mad, he could,nt believe that much rain could fall in 1 place so fast.
I haven't seen rain like it for a few years either..
Cheers Ean
We have had 327mm so far this year - none in December.
Mean annual rainfall at the nearest BOM station (Dunedoo - since 1912) is 612.5mm, median is 586.

No they won't. It is not a feasable project. The amount of pumping required (to overcome frictional losses and the head of water) means it would be more economical to run a desalination plant. That information was given to me by an NT Power and Water Hydrogeologist..
Bear in mind the Darwin and any major southern cities are at sea level. Just north of Alice Springs is at 700 metres above sealevel.
Of course there's always this
