      No mate this is queensland about 2500 kms away.

      They could well get another round next week whic will be terrible if it happens.

      Contrasts 350kms from the "epicentre" didnt recieve a drop still drouight stricken

      Its not unusual to get falls of 3 to 5 inhes in this country in the one hit but what has happened hasnt been seen since 74.

      Basically 17 to 20 inch rainfall region basically 75% of it falling in dec jan feb and possibly march mostly the rest of the year is the "dry" season

        Mallee my niece and her family raise cattle in Mungallala west of Roma in Queensland. They certainly have been experiencing an extended drought. Haven't heard from her for a while. It appears this extreme event is quite far north of her. Am I correct or was this area affected as well? Very devastating and hard to imagine what they are going through!

          Did a search mate seems mungallala is still in drought with only about 5mm falling for feb and there about 450 miles from the wet areas.

          Disclaimer could be wrong went to nearst weather station i could find 29 miles away

                No mention of the floods on the news but New Zeland has a wildfire and someones cat came home after 3 yr of absence,gotta wonder who runs the media and decides what is news worthy.

                  Is a cattle station the same as what we call a ranch? Privately owned or leased with their own cattle, or is it more like a community pasture where they are managing cattle for many other operators?
