All of the dry seeded paddocks that were sown before the last lot of rain has germinated and doing well and this next lot of rain is very welcome despite a bit of wind with it.
We pretty much went from Summer straight into winter here.

Nor the mandarin.
I don't think the christmas plum is either.

Why do you ask?

Talk about mess. The Victorian councils seem to have a love affair with plane trees, horrible things.

And corruption...councils love a bit of corruption

Noticed on BBC TV the temperatures there are similar to here. Their summer is our winter. So we're complaining about cold while they say it's quite nice now. Puts it in perspective.

Remember, when they predicted 300mm of rain for Melbourne, only 40mm fell.

the BOM are never correct.

The front has been and gone with top wind speeds in the low 80's here, No devastation, no panic just a normal winters day.
Like just about everything else the Press Loves to over dramatize and sensationalise the weather.

Yeah, absolutely. Hardly enough rain to keep the dust down at our place despite the promising forecasts and we are in the Hawkesbury valley north west of Sydney. Will need to buy water in the next week or so if there is no reasonable steady rain.

The long range forecast on Landline on the weekend was far less optimistic, saying very dry.

The BOM got caned a couple of years ago for failing to warn about a devastating rain event that hammered SE Qld, so it has been over compensating ever since.
