We've had both extremes in weather over the last number of years. 2 years ago, my work place (an abattoir) cut a shift off it's production due 11 years of drought. We are still working with that restriction and now have the opposite problem due to large widespread heavy rain, currently causing 75% of NSW, to be flood effected. This area of flood is equal to the size of the country of France. Due to the rain, I've got a day off work tomorrow, but can't get out to swing my detector. I was about to head out, but sure enough, down comes the rain again, and fairly heavy. Some of the parks here, including my favourite spot, are closed to use, due to rain. Funny enough, 2 years ago, one town in particular (Goulburn, which is about 50 miles north of our nations capital (Canberra) had all it's parks shut due to no water being able to be spared for lawns. The town actually ran out of water(population around 30000) and they had to truck water in. Now they are evacuating parts of the town because of flood waters. Hopefully I'll be able to get out tomorrow,.
Next week end will be interesting, as I'm driving a 1000kms south for a long week end (Geelong, just out of Melbourne) so hopefully the flood situation will be settled and if I can, I hope I can squeeze in a quick hunt, if I can. Defiantly packing the GTI. I love those city hunts.
