Rain
This year is shaping up to be a good season. We have had several falls since Christmas, good soaking rains that have not only filled dams but also returned sub-soil moisture, which has not been present for the last eight or nine years.
The crops around here are looking bloody fantastic despite the locusts that chewed off some of the emerging crops. The cerial crops bounced back OK but the Canola is suffering in the few areas that it was attacked. All in all we have had the best start to the cropping season we have had in in at least 12 years!

I have measured rain 15 mornings in the last 18 days. The ground is the wetest it's been in years and 4WD is a must at the moment. My latest chalange is to teach the boys how to drive in mud something they haven't had to do in the past.
 The photo shows a one inch diameter flow of water in the paddock just outside the house yard so the water table is finally recovering.

Water
Just as long as it doesn't flow through the house.
I've just driven to Adelaide and the country all through has been very wet indeed. Adelaide has had it's wettest Augusts for 18 years, or in other words they have had what used to be a normal winter.

Rain is here
The rain came down hard here today but there was much more to the east of us. The first picture is of the bridge into Mum's house just after lunch and the second one was just before dark. When the creek goes down I've got a lot of work to do plus all the balks are washed out. The last time the creek was over the bridge was in 1988.
