Hi Kit_e,
That's the thing that has stuck out over this summer, it's the amount of rain that has fallen in patches.
We are in Lawrence NSW, We can have it raining cats and dogs, yet 10 k's away they have nothing at all and watch it go past. We had over 360mm three weeks ago in a week, less than 10km out the road they had less than 150mm and are about to have to buy water, they're on tank water.
Crazy stuff.
