Wet Wet wet....

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!!

**Polyal** · 28-03-2007, 05:42 PM

Rub it in why dont you.....

sgt_doofey · 28-03-2007, 05:43 PM

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...

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

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!!

Yep , MITCHAY , know how you feel , I'm only 1 1/2 hrs north of you in Young , but there's "supposed" to be some rain on the way . Darran & I both watch "weatherzone.com.au" , just join and type your post code , good site .

Pics would be great OBJ, nothing quite as surreal as flooded red earth.

Have some pics from a flooded tanami here somewhere, from about 18mnths ago... will see if i can dig them up...

Similar note... actually been raining in adelaide over last couple of days. Well... showers anyway.

I keep an eye on both BOM and Wheatherchannel websites regularly.

Some followup rain is meant to be on it's way .. my lawn mower hasn't had such a work out in a long time.

I just hope the rain gets to Western NSW and parts of Victoria where it needs it.

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.
