This is what’s happening further upstream, all gauges still rising or in Tycannah creek’s case, is way out of the stream bed and across the landscape so is topping out the gauge at 8m. This volume still has to come past us. The further west they flow, the more they spread out.

I said if we got to 100mm from the rain forecast early in Feb I’d send the old girl around. It took longer than hoped, but we got to 100mm in the house gauge last week. More on the forecast for this week, sooooo #sendit

**URGENT** Spray applicators are asking where sensitive crops are located. Many growers haven’t entered crops on SataCrop! PLEASE add your cotton and other crops to SataCrop ASAP to assist applicators with best practice! Contact the Cotton Australia regional manager for help.
