Yep big differences over small areas, a bunch of locals post up every morning on FB around here totals for the last 24 hours and it gives a better idea than what BOM shows for differences in small areas due to many more people posting locally compared to BOM who only have a few stations in our shire.

One good example is the whyanbeel valley BOM recording, this is located on the way into whyanbeel valley and not the actual whyanbeel valley, another guy i know who lives in the upper whynabeel valley probably less than 2km as the crow flies has big differences in rainfall. For example last year whyanbeel valley BOM recorded 5187mm the guy i know got over 6300mm, his long term average is around 3900mm per year yet the whyanbeel valley BOM is around 2960mm per year.

Certainly there are a few standouts like Scott mentions and bunyip is certainly up at the tip of the spear, along with bellenden ker bottom station and happy valley near babinda.

Hogs are everywere around the bamboo valley atm every morning on my run i either have them running across the road in front of me from cane paddock to cane paddock or i can hear them grunting in big packs right near the road in the cane.
