Cobar and surrounding districts have again been blessed with more rain this month with several properties recording more than 50mm on Sunday.
Officially Cobar Meteorological Office recorded 25.8mm in the 24 hours to 9am Sunday, taking the total for this month to 73.4mm, a figure not seen in Cobar for a number of years.
Marie Johnson at Glenhope Station, 15km east of Cobar, recorded 51mm, which was on top of the 124mm they received earlier in the month.
Marie told The Cobar Weekly that all the tanks on their property were already full from the earlier rain.
“There’s a green tinge coming through but the ground is still very dry,” she said.
“Sunday’s rain washed the top soil off and, with water gushing through the house yard, there was not one bit of dry area.
“I feel like it’s going to rain again,” Marie said.
Further east near Canbelego at Restdown Station the Geppert family, who had received 110mm earlier in the month, recorded a further 27mm on Sunday.
Rikki Allen at Nullogoola Station, 45km west of Cobar, welcomed 24mm of rain, which was on top of the 20mm the property got at the start of the month.
Jillian and Dominic Prince at Lachlan Downs, 80km south of Cobar, were pleased with their 66mm.
“We had missed out on the previous falls so we’re feeling very grateful,” Jillian said.
