Yes!

Sunshine Coast gets a drink.  Hope others in far more need than us get a  bigger drink.

Yay!

I wish it rained up here as much as it does on the 'Sunshine' Coast.

We've had an inch and a bit... more than for a few months, let me tell you, and the gardens are drinking it up.

Ever notice it rains where there are trees.

The two parts of NSW (far North & South Coastal) that are heavily treed have the most rainfall in the State.
Sydney gets more rainfall than Melboure (false 'rainy city' and it doesn't have 'storms' like Sydney does, so where the hell did they get their NRL team name from?  Roll Eyes) because it is 'surrounded' by trees (forests) at least.

Of areas surrounded by 'forests' - the rain falls upon them, but not much in the Ruralised 'barer' parts in the middle.
The rain just goes around, or sticks to the outside. Only 10% comes over the bare Rural areas.
Nimmitabel is a very good example.

Satellite and Stats showed a good rainfall over a region of WA. Then half was turned into Wheat Rural (trees all gone) and fenced (Rabbit Proof). Ever since, the rain has stopped over the Wheat Rural side, but still continues over the Forest (Bush) side.

Trees create Shade.
Shade creates cooler, less dry soil.
Cooler, less dry Soil - accommodates Worms.
Worms make 'quality' fertile Soil
Quality fertile Soil makes good Crops/Grazing Lands.
Grazing Lands provide good grasses for Herds.
*Aboriginals created their Parklands for Roos & Emus - with plenty of Forest Trees.

Fruit trees are popping with buds... still waiting for the bananas to recover from frost ... they're alive ... you push the 'trunk' and if it's still moisty firm, the plant is still viable... if it's dead it will break.  If they cop frost, leave the dead foliage to protect the rest... it will fall off when ready and turn to compost.

They all love rain... more coming it seems...

Saturday night: I walked out of work and went to have a feed at McDonalds. Stayed to watch the game on television for the final 40 minutes. Walked out to find the carpark quite rained on. I had no idea that it was raining that night. I have been expecting September to redeem the dry season we have had in winter.
