My garden and pastures are slowly drinking in the rain that has been falling
on-and-off for 4 days. So far 60mm and more on the way. The cracks are
closing, the grass is growing and tanks are full. The steady showers are
filling up the subsoil with almost no runoff which is great. Perhaps in a
couple of days if the big sponge is getting full some runoff to refill the
dams and to get the river going would be nice. The horses have all calmed
down and stopped charging about - they seem to know their life will be
better now. Sadly, for the moment, it looks like the rain in NSW will be
mainly east of the ranges down to about Sydney.
