Thread: Rains!!

Rain! Rain! Rain! Rain! Bloke next door suddenly rushed outside and commenced building this damned great big floating thing that measures 40 cubics by 20 cubics then he came over wanted to borrow my male and female Shih Tzu's muttering something about he need one of everything

Rain? It's all we ever get up here in Coolum - we're only 100 km's from Brisbane.

Been going hard since Saturday morning
Drove down to Bris Sat arvo, there it was overcast but no rain.
Left Sun evening, still overcast and still no rain.
Got back home, it was still raining, hadn't let up all weekend.

Good thing we're getting water restrictions, hey?
Edumacate the aqua squanderers among us...

Hmmm... all this rain has highlighted a problem with my new rainwater tank - that is that the downpipe that leads to it isn't much of a performer. I'm going to have to hook up another when I get back

Been forecasting big falls here, up to 150mm, hasnt arrived yet, I hope they got it right for once.

I think you mean cubits! (cubit= an ancient measure of length approximately equal to the length of a forearm. OED)

No rain here, but there was a bit of light cloud yesterday.

G'day Folks

Well I have checked the rain gauge here a Uncle Ho Manor's and the overnight tally is 38mm (1 1/2 inches) and still drizzling
we just need another 12 inches over the next 10 days, to make any type of difference to the water table

cheers

Hay Castle recorded 49 mm (1.8 inches) over night, still raining, Oh and I checked the bloke next door and Yes you are right JohnNSW, the plan he was given in a dream is in cubits

My creek has finally trapped us again its been almost 3yrs since this last happened.So we wont be going into town for a while .Gum boots are on its time to go play in the MUD and check the stock
