I know the 28day forecast in central Australia shows nothing
Our local dams is at 2.2%, the other local dams are 1% and 8.9%.
So yeah it isn't the best at the moment.

a dry spring is not a good thing
Different regions seem to be experiencing differing variations.
We've just spent several days in the Mallee, & their rainfall to date this season has been absolutely perfect, everything is green, (a rare occurrence in the Mallee!), We were told that a little rain around late October will see record harvests.
Pickles.
I hope it does, everyone needs it.
Clouds offshore but predicted rain failed to appear overnight.
These are pics from the property,just east of Dirranbandi.
Just thought i would throw up these pics to show what this drought is like.
The Warwick area is similar.
Just a dust bowl.
This was a grassy paddock,a few years ago.
Hundreds of dead roos around.There is nothing around to eat them,they just dry out.
This pic is whats left of the grassy area around the homestead and caretakers residence,which is in the background.
Same area as above pic,this one includes the shearers quarters,meat house,etc,which are to the west or right of the other pic above this one.
The trees look green,but they are dropping leaves and under immense stress.Many of the huge coolabahs, around the now dry dams, are dead or dying.
And they recon there is going to be a dry Spring and Summer.

Comes out of hibernation every few months for a run
there is a reason aust is called the driest continent.
I was up at Ipswich on Tuesday & drove over the Bremer River or what is left of it , there are islands in it, I have never seen it so in the 69 years of my life. My grand parents house was across the road beside the the bridge , the house was built on the foundations of the 1st brewery in Qld , the cellarwas built with sand stone blocks cut by convicts. Up untill 74 when the river flooded whe water came up to the floor boards , in 74 the water was 6ft over the peak of the roof. I cann remember as a boy going fishing with my grand dad off the jetty , I think about now all you would catch would be mud skippres.
