    Hopefully this rain kicks things along enough so the kids can have a decent christmas this year!

    We've had 20mm since Sunday morning, most of it from late last night. They're predicting up to 50mm over the next couple of days. Should kick things along nicely. I'm coming into my 10th spring/summer and this is probably the driest and hottest lead in to the busy season I've seen. Did a lawn on Saturday morning that had been 5 weeks between cuts and barely got a bag of grass (weeds is probably more accurate). Normally get 1.5 to 2 bags fortnightly this time of year. Thank god for this rain.

    About 30mm here, hopefully we'll get some more out of this system......most of that will have just disappeared down the cracks in the soil.....

    We had 9mm on Sunday night

    More possible throughout the week so fingers crossed.

    Heard that Coffs Harbour area NSW had about 170mm over the last two days.

    I've had 11mm here from storms over the last 3 days. Pretty disappointing so far but hopefully we can get a good one in the next few days. Forecast to hang around until after the weekend.
    The Bunya Mtns scored some better rain so hoping the grass starts growing up there at least.

    This has been the latest start to the season proper I've had so far.

    Im hearing you Ed, been a shocker thats for sure! Had around 19mm last few days, not enough and very patchy. Got rained on (soaked) by a heavy shower yesterday (that looked like it was heading for my place, drove home about 5km and the road was dry.
    Another lawn I did earlier was like it hadnt had any rain at all. The dust was insane!

    I dont want the rain like last few years but some good 20mm storms would be great. Followed by some more 20mm storms.

    I think ENSO is still saying an Average summer rainfall. Average sounds good to me after the floods of the last few years and the dry spring

    Did you get my pm last week re trailer Mick?

    All the big rain went around us here in last nights storms; the front actually split as it approached Toowoomba would you believe. Only about 5mm here. Still, better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick.

    Too wet for the work we want to do! Hope it dries a little for Friday as we have some lawn coring/aerating to do. Want in damp , not soggy

    Saying all that unless we go straight into a hot hot summer we will be taking only the main days off at x-mas and wait for things to dry up a little in Feb/March before we take any time off.
