Yeah, come back when the wet season gets going.

Mount Belenden Ker

Climate
The rain gauge at its summit records an annual average rainfall of 8,053.6 mm (317.07 in), making it the wettest meteorological station in Australia. It also holds the record for the highest rainfall in a calendar year of 12,461 mm (490.6 in) in 2000 and the highest rainfall in Australia for a calendar month of 5,387 mm (212.1 in) in January 1979.[5][6]

In 2006, the mountain received more rainfall – 9,800 mm (390 in) – than any other part of Australia.[7] This was primarily due to two severe tropical cyclones passing close to the mountain. In 2010, Queensland's wettest year on record, the top station on the mountain recorded 12,438.4 mm (489.70 in), just under the 2000 record.[8]

Then why do they say it may or could be a record? It either is or it isn't. Wink

They r waiting for govt verification

If the amount is verified, it would smash the current national record for most rain in 24 hours — 43 (1070mm) inches in Alvin, Tex., in 1979 during Tropical Storm Claudette.

Dalby got 600mm and Mackay got 2100mm last year for a comparison.
