In Ballarat we got 15mm in the 24 hours to 9am yesterday and 8mm in the 24 hours to 9am today. Not a lot really.

Very little in our area of SA, about 8mm over couple of days.

I imagine the local grain growers are less than impressed, harvest just getting into gear.

A little over 4 " here in Nrth Vic, nothings as bad as the Nrth East. No doubt our rivers will be rising over the next few days. Looks like the worst of it is over for us. I wish anyone affected all the best, stay out of floodwater & stay safe please.

Paul.

The rain snuck up on us from the north-east so watching the rain from the West as is normal was a waste of time.

Just tipped out 14mm from the 24 hours to 9 am this morning. That's only about 37mm (1.5"") over there days and about a fraction of what we were supposed to get. Better being prepared than sorry. I'm guessing all the creeks at the south end of town where all the water actually runs may may be flowing rather well.

Update for the rain around our area, after the first lot on friday, nothing much grand total of 85mm.
The water tanks 3/4 full, all the dams full and overflow into the creek, so we can't grumble.
