We wouldnt have cracked anywhere near an inch (25mm) so far, and I doubt we'll get much beyond an inch at the very most.
[Unless it all changes around some more, which is possible.]
Light misty showers most of this afternoon, but you could still drive to town if need be at this stage..
That thing North of Mount Isa looks like it's sending stuff our way, but not really sure it will get here.
Besides; I expect we will start losing livestock if we get much more than 75mm.. Too big a shock for them, until they get some grass to eat.
One good thing; it will likely nail a heap more roos.
The roos havent been coping well with the last few rain events, and they were a lot shorter than this one.
I'm not too unhappy with where we are at as far as rain right now; we couldnt deal with the deluge around Townsville. It would likely be more destructive than another 6 months of drought, for us right now..
Softly Softly.
Niece works as a governess on a property up on the Daimantina near Kynuna; the family were supposed to be heading back this weekend. Yesterday, she was advised it would be Tuesday, as the family were stuck in Charters Towers. NOW; it's looking like this week might be a write-off, and even next week might be in question...
I dont think anyone is overly upset, but I'm glad we arent getting as much rain as they are up there. Not until the sheep are bit stronger...
