It's Raining It's Raining

Australian conditions vary from one extreme to another. What do you do and when do you do it?

It's Raining It's Raining

Post by Nathan »

After one of the hottest and driest summers I can remember in Brisbane we have finally had some decent rain, I was down to two days supply of water in my tank and now with the lovely drizzly rain that we have had over the past two days my water tank is full

The trees are loving a nice drenching in natural fresh water

Cloud up Southern Tablelands, NSW area, but doesn't look promising so am watering everything - at least we have a bit of occasional shade.

To the Powers That Be, Send 'er down :!:

Have a great weekend everyone, and for those in the flood zones, stay safe,
