When we arrived here, everyone told us it was the desert! It was, and still is, people were proud to tell us that Karratha had 4mm of rain in 18 months! Well, thats a myth, this year so far we have had 450mm of rain with 200mm of that in the last week. Our back lawn resembles something like seaweed at the moment and the last 2 days have seen the grass poke out into the sun again! The water was about an inch under our back sliding door which makes me think that another 100mm rain event wont be very good for the house, being a tin house, the water will get into every crack etc, so the doors are only a slight concern! We had some really nice rocks out the front, being good neighbours we gave them to the people down the road courtesy of the river that ran down our street. The drainage here in Nickol West is not the best, so good to have a rain event like this to iron out the bugs etc. Well, I best go out and tie the boat down, TC Carlos is knocking on our door and will be here Tuesday. Thats about number 5 for the year that we have had to prep for.
