If you're a regular shopper at Coles Rundle Place here in #Adelaide you might want to rethink that, my experience yesterday at the store involved seeing dozens of small birds flying around in store pooping on everything, and when I got my groceries home I found the packet of biscuits had a large rodent chew hole in one end of it, binned instantly.. Will not be shopping there again.

"Since February 2024, Adelaide has only received around 300 millimetres of rain — the driest it's been since the city's weather records began in 1839.

During the same period, Sydney has been drenched by more than 2,000mm, nearly 500mm above average, and is facing possibly another 50mm during the coming week."

The cause of this? Uncharacteristically, Tasmania has had a lot of high pressure systems sitting over the state causing easterly winds over the south of mainland Australia bring rain to the east coast and stopping the westerly winds that typically bring rain to South Australia and much of Victoria.

Not good for gardening!
