    Just amazing rain figures, was watching the rain on radar just sitting over your location and staying and staying and dumping it.
    We had around 60mm and struggled Friday just gone with the amount of wet in the few lawns I did. Had too delay a couple till next week to dry.
    Imagine 360mm.

    Re your pool install, too many people must be peeing in it too with the color.
    Cheers Garry

    I agree with you there mate, that was one of the coldest winters (West Gippsland) for about 15 years in my opinion. My work schedule is a bit of a train wreck like always at this time of year, lol

    I am surprised how dry it actually is here atm. They are saying we may touch 31 on Sat. Watch the grass burn off if we do. Soil is dry. Need some spring rain

    funny you say that Blue a bit of a mixture with my lawns,today doing some ride on there was heaps of dust dry as.yet other parts lush but a lot of clover this year with cape weed..my bay side lawns with sandy soil will dry quickly yet the mountain areas have had heaps of rain...El nino is coming with a big bang so they say but Melbourne will escape it so say the experts ..personally i like the dry times because it gets rid of some of the low ballers......haven't seen a fair dinkum spring rain for a long time ,back in the early 90s you spend time at home waiting for the lawns to dry out,,,haven't seen that for awhile in Melbourne
