We had 20mm of rain overnight. I woke up at 2.30 and it was raining hard for while. I'm very grateful for it. My new regenerating natives were suffering and the whole garden has now had a big drink. Watching the fires on the east coast I feel a bit guilty but hopefully, if the cyclone in the NW of Australia tracks predictably, the SE will get some rain in a few days or a week. That would be awesome, but we'll see.
Apparently SE Oz gets it's summer rain from the cyclones that form off the NW coast. And because the cyclone season has been late, the east coast has been drier than usual. It's very distressing watching what is happening on the east coast - partly because people and animals are suffering, but also because many of us here in the west are wondering if/when we are next.

Wasn't that a lovely rain! Cleaned out the air, watered the earth.
