The dry continues.. – 3rd November 2019
Despite all the predictions to the contrary… the big dry continues.
November will be our 8th month without significant rain, if more rain does not arrive. And it does not look promising.
Increasing our Water Storage – 25th August 2017
Water has always been an issue here.
Partly due to the steepness of our property(No flat land for tanks), and partly due to the intermittent nature of rain on the western side of the coastal ranges.
Rocks on the Road – 3rd January 2017
Running alongside about 5km of our property’s boundary is Lamington Nation Park Rd. This long windy road leads from our local town Canungra up the mountain to the Green Mountain section of Lamington National Park.
There are things we dislike about the road – eg: slow traffic, but there are many more things that bring us a little joy and comfort on the road to.
The Big Wet II 2016 – 20th June 2016
For the second time this winter we got an extraordinary weather pattern that brought about unseasonable wind and rain to South East Queensland. An east coast Low pressure system, inconjunction with a surface trough brought us strong winds and unseasonable rain.
We only received 75+ mm, but this represents a significant on day fall when the monthly average is just 42mm.
The total recorded here(so far) for July 2016 is 300.5 mm – representing more than 7 times the average for the month.
Working on the Road – 2nd March 2016
After the first big rain we had here since arrival, we have a new respect for the road above our property.
Respect may not be the right word, but we definitely understand it more and what it’s impacts are on the surrounding environment.
Water, water, everywhere – 15th February 2016
Erosion is on of the big three issues that we have to deal with her at Arborlon. So we have been addressing one of the issues that leads to the above image.
It is a problem I have seen in every house I have lived in in Queensland. Poor storm water control – in this case gutter overflow, during significant rain.
