Yesterday till now, an average of 25 - 50mm of rain has fallen to NSW, and some places got up to 100mm
After a few years with less than 50mm a year, this indeed a godsend :) :)
Although I do not own a farm, since I went bush a lot, I could see that the farmers were hurting something terrible for a few years.
Of course it hurt me too, for the quantity of game animals went down down down...
I sure hope the rain continues for a bit more

There is nothing quite like water from the sky when you need it. Good on you guys.

Only thing an umbrella would do is keep the sun off'n my head. The rain that Gelan got in New South Wales hasn't filtered through to Queensland. We are still waiting.
25mm is near enough 1"......1" is 25.4 mm.

Something very easy: 1 meter = 1,0936yds. 1yd = 0,9144 meter. 1 millimeter =0,03937". 1 meter = 100 centimeter = 1000 millimeter. 1fps = 0,3048 meter/s. 1meter/s = 3,2808 fps 1" = 25,339 millimeter. 1gram = 15,432 gr. 1gr = 0,0648 gram. Now we all use meter, centimeter, millimeter......

And an even easier way to look at it is SAE (inches, feet and yards). Only scientists really need the metric system because of the very fine measurment increments. The rest of us only need to measure from .0005" through a mile (except sailors need knotical miles)...

Thanks gang, I have been educated.
Now I know why my wife named me Mr. Millimeter after our honeymoon.
