Coldstream VIC BoM gauge measured 22.2mm for the month of April. Mooroolbark (my home gauge) measured 24.2mm for the month of April. All in all about 28mm below average for the month. So far, for the first day of May (just a little off topic, but nevertheless relevant), a healthy 16mm fell today here.
