    Yep, but we got 400ml the prior 2 weeks and everything is still wet and soggy.

    I am a pedant!
    The correct measure for rainfall (in Aust) is millimetres (mm).
    The slack and sloppy presenters on the (commercial) tv media more often than not, WRONGLY describe it as 'mils'. (mls -- millilitres).
    Let us use the CORRECT measure / units please.

    Hey Troppo, you wouldn't like our days where it doesn't get above 9 degrees then. Played footy in the snow once, the puddles around the oval where frozen over, some bloked went to punch the water logged ball that had frozen and busted his hand. One field umpire collapsed from the cold. It was a blizzard, I'll never forget that day.

    Us Southerners learn to drink at a early age just to survive, The cold climate means we drink Spirits and Ports just for body warmth. You Beer Drinking Northerners are cursed with a life time Apprenticeship and will never Qualify.
