Rainfall data for 2004.

Please note. Data is derived from data supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology.

Rainfall is updated when data and staff are available.

Red sky in the morning is a shepherds sure warning; red sky at night is the shepherds delight.

When dew is on the grass, rain won't come to pass. Old folk lore.

Vegetation droops and dies, the leaves shrivel like half-burnt paper and the ripening fruit is scorched and half-roasted on the trees. Luxuriant crops of wheat and barley, with the grain still tender in the ear, are shrivelled up by the heat and scarcely fit to cut for hay.
C.H. Barton, 1895. And you think this season is bad.
