And thank you for telling me about your blog. I'm always interested to find blogs written by ppl who know what they're talking about. I don't always :) But those maps the BOM makes help me out. I haven't been blogging so much recently (too busy writing a thesis) but I'm planning a post about Perth's groundwater and hopefully I'll finish it this week. Thanks for the comments.

I will mention it in my blog next week now that I know that it exists. You have been active quite a lot longer than I have, keep up the good work! On the rainfall. I think the scariest thing about the rainfall is that all the climate change predictions seem to become true. There is a shift in the rainfall towards spring and summer over the last 10 years or so and there is a massive drop in the autumn rainfall. Places along the Victoria NSW border which used to get reliable winter rain are getting nothing, because the low pressure systems have shifted south. I saw a paper (I think) on that recently, arguing that this has to do with the warming of the South Pole. Rain here in Sydney has been also really spotty. We have gotten deluges in some weeks (June was wet), but May was the driest May on record.... Willem Hi Clare,
