Auch, that is a long time without rain.
Mind you we had a few episodes of that last year. Had to buy water (we are on tank water) last year for the first time in 5yrs.
Bit different this year,
http://www.lyndhurst-hill.info/rainbar3d.gif we had 843mm this year already(since 1st of jan). Now we have this cyclone coming this way, might be on top of us on Saturday.
http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ65002.shtml, appears to be some sort of maga storm. 200km winds in center I believe.
Hope it settles a bit before it decides to knock on the back door

.
Hope you get some rain in Perth soon, same country so many contrasts. We are drowning in QLD, some rivers are 14 meters above their original level....
