Hi NonLocal
Yes, the rain seems slow in coming to Bombala. It looked so close on the radar yesterday. 12mm is a start.
I have read Tom Lethbridge's last book, The power of the pendulum, just a couple of weeks ago. An interesting guy with an unusual approach.
Cheers

Hi NonLocal
Bombala was chosen on the advice of our stock agent when I asked where was the most drought-affected area. There is agricultural land round Bombala. Unfortunately, it seems to be in rain shadow. When we had 16mm last week, the western side of the ranges got more and the coast got bucketed, Bombala, in the middle, got none.
The source of the Murray is due west of Bombala. Kosciusko National Park provides a lot of water to the Murray, mostly from snow melt (if there is any) so extra moisture there would not go amiss.
A 200 km radius would be fine.

Hi again
I just found Bombala's rainfall figures for this year compared to the average. Jul 2008 - 9.8mm, ave. 47.0mm
Rainfall from Jan - Jul 2008 184.4mm, ave for same period 376mm.
Rain is distributed throughout the year, but August is normally the driest month, about 40mm. The wettest months are December and January (summer) 64.5mm which means that it comes in from the Tasman Sea.
Hi
You've got the location right. I checked the tourist info and they describe it a being in the Snowy Mountains, nestled between the snowfields and the Far South Coast. It is grazing country with natural bush and increasing pine plantations. It is well-known for trout fishing.
I'm not sure about the source of its rainfall. I think some would come across the continent and hit the ranges and some would come from high pressure systems off the east coast. In either scenario the high pressure systems have been in the wrong place or not strong enough to push moisture inland from the east.
I would think perhaps 5 inches of rain over 10 days would be great. That would set them up for spring growth and get the creeks and rivers flowing.
Thanks. Rosemary
Hi
Karen has expressed the wish for a more specific location. I have suggested Bombala in the Monaro of NSW which is in the headwaters of the Murray part of the Murray Darling Basin. Thanks. Rosemary
