Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Some area's around Mildura have had over 200mm in the last 24 hours. Water vapour from Cyclone Yasi is being drawn down into parts of SA and across Vic and southern NSW. Businesses and homes have been flooded and many roads are closed, but at least we haven't had the wind associated with the cyclone.

No rain, or wind, on the South Coast of NSW... the pressure band is pushing 40 degree heat down from Alice Springs instead....

Mum & Dad live in the same road as the Macclesfield trout farm.
They drove past it yesterday and had to push through about a foot of water across the road.
The lake had broken it's banks so I assume the races had as well...
There should be some good fishing downstream in the Woori Yallock creek.

I'm getting a bit sick of you eastern staters pinching all the rain....

you can have it back, we got about 10 mm flow in the back door last night AGAIN!

just enough to wet the carpets and piss me off!

Called my land lord and swore at him a fair bit as we have told him 100 times about drainage issues and he seems not to care!!!
Wonder what color carpet we will get this time!!

righto rant over!

Nasty fires over our way now... Strong winds, and tinder dry, reports of 20 odd houses destroyed with numerous fires in different areas. More gusty winds over night, could be a long night for some....

Man, crazy stuff with more floods over east, drought and fires here, huge storms in the US..........

9 deg here atm

gee, we only got 250mm since the start of the month...

back at work today so I have some of that newfangled stuff called electrickery and something called running water? not sure on that one

Almost pining for those carefree years of drought

Plenty of it around today.

Was meant to be getting some soil tests done up on my (country) block today. Unfortunately the guy doing the drilling got bogged 200m in from the gate.

Had to ring a couple of people to locate a tractor to get him out. While doing that I found out that there has been 5.5 inches (140mm) of rain up there over the last 4 weeks. It also looks like there is at least another week of it to come (not complaining; I want a good season for the farmers).

To give you an idea - this area has a long term average of 350mm per year.

Too much water here, filled up 400L in the last few days just with 3 GB and 1 ST alone

Rain, rain.... give me bloody drought... I'm soooooo over this bloody weather....
