Thankfully it has been a wetter summer than usual. Also, thankfully, we are not in an area that floods as we are on the side of Mount Wyangapini, nowhere near a river. But when it really really rains the waters roar down the hill sides and through the rocky storm tracks in the paddocks. The area around here is very rocky ( hence the name of the next road - Stoneleigh) and there are long stretches which have been cut away by water in the past. Usually the temperature is around 35 degrees at this time of the year, occasionaly up 40+. So that is why I am glad it has been wetter that usual. There have been a number of years of drought, so people are hoping that is over. Needless to say the farmers are never satisfied - it is the never the weather they want at the time they want!
