Sooner the better. Drove past the Ewen Maddox dam on the Sunshine Coast yesterday. Where there was water, there are now mud flats stretching off into the distance...
We have had a couple of showers overnight & today but nothing enough for me to stop hedging with an electric hedger.[bigwhistle] Still very overcast so hopefully we will get some more . At least it is soaking in & not running off.
Well found the leak in return line to the spa Attachment 165403 Small dent in pipe were arrow is pointing , looks like a digging fork , not sure how I have never owned a digging fork .Attachment 165404 dug all this up before I found it A least I remembered were the pipes were from when the pool was put in over 30 years ago.Quote:

Really dry here,we need some rain urgently.Had a few showers over the last couple of months,but only a few mm.
I don't think we have had a good amount for quite a few months.
Out at the property we have the best wheat crop for 6 years[thumbsupbig]
As do the neighbouring properties.
No roos around helps as well,they are going to take years to breed back up to the numbers that were around before the drought.
Sheep are doing OK,but the grass hasn't really recovered,its going to probably take 3 years,with good summer rains,and winter storms to get it good again.
Drizzling here in Maleny this arvo, which is good, but we need a week of steady rain to really restore the situation.
Looks like root damage to me and 30 years out of a bit of pvc pipe is pretty good value anyway[thumbsupbig]Quote:

I reckon DM may have fared better yesterday, going by the view of the clouds from my place.[thumbsupbig]
You may be right, but I don't know.Quote:
