More storm activity in Queensland's drought-stricken west is forecast, as some graziers celebrate the first decent rain they have seen in more than a year. Patchy storm rain has fallen from the Gulf of Carpentaria down to south-west Queensland, including in towns like Eulo and Cunnamulla. There was also 61 millimetres of rain reported at Mount Pleasant near Hughenden, and 67mm on a property north of Boulia.
Murray Tramby-White manages a place north-west of Winton and says 102mm there will get the property out of trouble. "We haven't had substantial rain here for about 18 months," he said. While across the board, the rain has not been drought-breaking, graziers say it has lifted spirits.
