Last week a couple of solid falls now overnight 104 mm. This is

Sometimes it seems as if it just oscillates between fire and flood
with intervening droughts, doesn't it?

Yes, its a hard land even without ENSO swings, this last mini-drought was
just another random fluctuation.

As the rains were coming we got a nice lightning storm. The tree on the
hill 200m south coped a strike and my computer's power supply (despite surge
protection) and the fuses on my sewerage plant went. As well we had to get
the house transformer fuses fixed too and the rural fire service to put out
the fire the strike started. It could have been worse, some people lost
most of their appliances (from other strikes).
