My tanks ran non stop on to the garden from 4.30pm Thursday night until 4.15 last night, and they are now also full.

You poor buggers sound like that Farmer in the Corn commerical. 'Marge. The rains are ere!'. Sounds like lady Adelaide could do with a good drink. Up here I have to Mow my grass every day just so I can open my gates. That would be great if I actually had a lawn mower LOL.

I've just spent a couple days in a little town called Natimuk, about half hour west of Horsham. They had over 50ml in 24 hours.

Most rain they've had in 8 years

They still need a heap more too...
