Yup we are 19m above sea level so the water table is never far off the surface

We are about 270 m
Local cemetery which is the church yard in the centre of the village is almost full up now and the last few have a rising water table in winter even though its on a hill.
They have to pump out the holes when they are weather is wet.
In the foreground it gets wet,a bit of a hollow.
The stone in the foreground I put there with the JCB 3CX so a plaque could be fixed to remember US airmen whose airplane crashed just outside the village,about a mile.

biggest issue is when they are a “double” depth, with a reservation ( wife / husband / partner etc ) above them. They HAVE to be at the right depth & sitting flat

As you’ll appreciate, Australia is a very big country & quite diverse ( it’s a bit like asking what’s happening across UK / EU, from Turkey to Scotland ), so I can only really comment on what’s happening in northern NSW / southern Queensland, where we are having lots of harvest delays to rain.
I haven’t heard what’s happening in WA / SA or southern Victoria, but it generally doesn’t tend to rain in those areas much in summer, being different climate to ours.
I will answer your question in detail shortly when I have time, just don’t like giving blanket “yes / no” answers to people’s genuine questions

that water is also obviously flowing through previous / older graves into the new ones we are digging, so I wouldn’t be drinking it . . .

Our weather normally comes from the NW, but our biggest flooding concern ( Watermark Gully & the Mooki River ) comes from catchments to the south

ALWAYS more opportunities after a flood, than enduring the drawn out uncertainty & stress of years of no rain

Soil moisture IS what our farming systems run on, our soils can store a vast amount of water, this will set us up for the next few years as long as we can get past this
