| Three years of severe drought and then the wettest winter on record. |
"The whole town was excited and I haven't experienced
that before," said Sue Hegarty, from Colanya Station.
"That's how bad this drought was. It was affecting
everybody ... there was so much relief when it finally decided to rain."
The Longreach airport recorded 262mm of rain over winter,
more than five times its average for the season.
"Whatever that green does, it's just so much easier on
the eye," grazier Mary te Kloot said.
Ms te Kloot and her husband John live at Marmboo Station,
about 100km north-west of Longreach
