[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6972993, member: 63856"] It's certainly a lot different when you get it, to when you don't! We've been here 4 years and 3 summers ago they declared a drought (handily it started the rain the next day) All it really takes is one decent downpour if your rainfall is 100% effective, our mean annual temp is about 11.7° which is a lot closer to the dew point than the far north, and we get a lot less sunshine hours which also makes a big difference. Quite a contrast compared to hot places, where they have much higher evaporation/transpiration rates, they just dry out so fast. It's probably not even the dry itself but "what you expect", I have a mate up Lauder direction who knows it's dry and farms for it, and thus has a great business. Handy having such a diverse group!
