Weary that’s very clever mate well done.

Bunyip yeh normally I do that too, last night I was walking around at 2:45am checking my creek and looked at the gauge and it still had a fair way to go so I left it this time then went back to sleep. Woke up at 6am from a message from dad at wonga saying his gauge had overflowed out there 280mm+ so I quickly ran out and saw mine nearly at the top. Luckily the cone was still sealed like you say so tipped it onto container now waiting for it to stop to measure it all. Still pouring going to be well over 300mm for the 24 hours for sure
