I recently posted a request about how I can get hold of annual
rainfall totals for Australian capital cities from 2003 back to
earliest records? I need only one station for each city - the one with
the longest records.

Thanks for various suggestions. Here is an answer that worked.

I sent an email to and got an immediate reply. Paid
the reasonable amount of $11 by credit card and got the data by return
as Excel readable text files.

And for general weather www.bom.gov.au is a good site for most here. Ok, so
it only tells you much along the lines of news weather, but the radar watch
is always good.
