Heh. I would have happily swapped that for Wednesday's sandstorm
in the Cobbler desert followed by Thursday's duststorm at
Innamincka.

Problems with allthe "strange weather", no-one has long enough
attention spans. As far as I can tell, watching all the 70-80
y.o. trees die in the inland creeks, we're entering a weather
patern akin to the mid-1930s or possibly the 1890-1900 disaster
years.

Suggest you, DOnal and others do a cast back over the last 100
years or so, and you'll find parallels.

I issue this post as a public service, before someone starts
global warming. (I for one am happy that human pollution so far
appears to be staving off the next ice age...).

Out sailing in the next few days---finally--with a bit of luck
there'll be autmnal gales to drive everyone else off the Murray
Lakes...which in keeping with both natural drought and man-made
river flow reductions, continue silting up and growing weed in a
sort of inland Sargasso...
