    Same goes here, hasn't stopped for weeks really, however the last few says have been fairly heavy. Only thing is, Central Coast catchment area is very small, so for years we have sat around 30% capacity.
    When I was a young bloke I worked on the dam in question and now it makes me wonder if the engineers factored in a fill rate of only 30-35%. Could have saved a bundle on construction costs if they had.
    Anyway, good to see they are getting it where they need it out west.

    Same here.
    Come and get the rain. Wish it would shine enough for things to dry out.

    Pretty damp here too

    We only had an inch overnight; but the water table was already so high that it has just resulted in all the paddocks looking like lakes
