Let it rain!!

In my previous post I mentioned how terribly dry our area is at the moment, but just yesterday we had about 128mm/5" of rain in the afternoon- an absolute deluge!!  While this might not break the drought long term, it's certainly extremely welcome!!

This is the storm system that brought all the rain, taken from the Stanthorpe area looking in our direction.

One of the benefits of the rain is that the dam we have at the front of the property, which is purely 'ornamental', is now completely full!  I have only seen it full three or four times during the years that we've owned the property.

Another encouraging event since writing my last post is that our builders have confirmed a few details and are fully onboard for the construction of the Trainbarn next year, which is extremely exciting!

2015 is going to be a good one!!
