Evan,

If that's the case do not go near Royal National Park in Sydney - with Ray
Gobbe saw over 40 yesterday - and it was actually very wet.

That's 18 inches of rain in the old money. Is it raining?

Apparently, for those that don't know, there was a belief among Aussie

inches of rain that was coming.
