Wet Wet wet....

[Outbackjack]

Jeez guys, you lot might be used to rain, but we sure aren't. I have lived out here for almost 10 years, and I have never seen it so wet. I just heard from a mate that the Alice will go onto flood alert again soon. Might get a few days off work!!

Rub it in why dont you.....

[sgt_doofey]

Yeah, some of that is heading our way tonight and tomorrow, although it's only showers predicted, not rain.

Some pics might heighten the experience for the rest of us...

Sorry, i didn't post that increase the pain suffered by some of Australia's rural folk. It was simply a point of interest.

Once again, I didn't mean to rub anyones faces in the current drought situation. :

Mate I wouldn't say that 34% dam capacity (link ) is "plenty of water"...

Sorry that was sarcasm, im only ****ed off because I cant clean my car with nice water.

Im in Geelong, not rural at all (depends on your definition I guess), and its bad enough here let alone in the country.

Send some south east into Brisvegas thanks .

Make sure you get some good pics if you can mate, the alice in flood is a great sight

I've heard Uluru is great after heavy rain but I spose that depends on access there

Thats for sure. Ayres rock, when all the hundreds of rock pools across the top flood and form a miriad of water falls is truly spectacular. Especially at sun rise and sun set. But it is a 900klm round trip from here, so I wont be getting any shots today!!
