So you think it's a long time since it rained?

If you thought the environment around us was just about dried to a crisp - you are right. While there has been significant rain to the west, north, east and especially northeast, SA is really missing out this year. Some of you may have seen this summer rainfall chart published last week in The Australian. I't so graphic it's worth noting as the reason for our own Aldinga summer "dust-bowl" dryness.
