After a wet night.

Cyclone Owen weakened into a rain depression as it became closer to Ingham and decided to then dump the moisture it was holding upon us last night, incredibly it was decent enough not to drop rain upon the Herbert river headwaters so this pondage outside our place has a place to drain which I expect to happen shortly after things clear up.

I think this is our wettest day in the 15 years I've been here, 327 mm since 09:00 yesterday. Keen viewers may notice the weather station's clock seems most awry but offsetting the time zone into a +1 means it conforms to the lazy Aussie standard of starting the day at 9 in the morning. The accuracy of this unit is also very good, I trust it and its fellow units about Ingham (plenty on the Weather Underground) more than the official reading. Stations to the SE of us received a lot more rain than our 327 mm too.
