We got about 137 spots (1.1mm) here (Heathcote) and a little bit of wind.
Bugger need about 50mm fast to fill up the tanks and dams and a few months of steady drizzle to soak everything.

Went for a surf on Monday, water temp was 24 degrees, air temp was 24 degrees.
I don’t know how I suffered through it for all of those hours and hours....

Bloody hell the sh!t weather has ended in Queensland,  now we have to put up with another six months of them whining about our weather. Don't know what you blokes are on about, it's a balmy 15 degrees and pissing with rain

BTW Big fish, I just checked, you were deported from Vic
