THE TOONS’ VIEWS
THE weather has undoubtedly been the most popular topic around the region this week, with hefty downfalls and flooding creeks in some parts (at Geurie, for example), but barely a few spits of rain less than 20km away.
Here’s how some of Dubbo Photo News’ followers reported via facebook on the storms and dust storms that passed through our area during the week.
As serious as the current drought is, some are managing to maintain a sense of humour through it all.
Denise: Not that we can see any storms coming at the moment LOL... just got to wait for them to sneak up on us through the dust.
Kristen: Send down the rain please! The storm we got the other day was pitiful.
Brad: Once again Dubbo misses out
Lenny:
