Two Days of Rain makes Brisbane very Happy - news and pictures

It’s been raining! Brisbane’s been in the middle of a long, dry time - in fact right now we have Level 5 Water Use restrictions it’s so dry.

But it’s been raining since Tuesday and that’s making people very happy indeed - the dams are getting some water too.

The Brisbane Times, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (also here) and the brisneyland LiveJournal group have all been following the rain - and here’s some pictures I just took of a rainy night:

    Yes, the rain is fantastic….but how come poor old Bruce Paige was standing drenched at Wivanhoe dam last night doing his news report. Poor thing. He might catch cold!

    Love the pics, btw!
