Its over 66% this morning with another 1" or so forecast for tomorrow.
Weather will be beautiful.
Tomato planting time Cup weekend, so it should be nice.
Don't forget it's actually spring, at the moment & has been for 1 month, not winter.

Here's hoping

It's been going up steadily, around 1% a day over the last few days. Must be a hell of a lot of water floating around over there.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

It's up over 3% in a week so I'd say 70 shouldn't be too far away and hopefully over 80% by the time we go away :-D

Quick fishing report for you guys heading up next month. Booked one of the small cabins and also pitched a tent for my family and my parents over the long weekend just gone. Fished off the banks with my dad for about two hours Friday eve, and again sat morning. one hour sat night after dinner and two hours sunday morning. All up three fish landed from 6 bites. Exclusively used small yabbies targeting cod/yellas. two of the yellas were 32cm and the biggest 65cm and 3.5kg. Weather was horrendous and water dirty but clearing by Sunday morning. Great relaxing weekend with the family fishing off the banks. Next month I predict the fishing will go off once the water warms a little.
