We need the rain in Darwin to Steve, two really poor wet seasons, we would welcome a whirly gig here now!

Yeah mate, we hang out for cyclone season it, our ground water for the entire year, we never had one last year.
 
Pretty much the same, usually we need a cyclone or two, because after they hit land they turn back into tropical lows and dump rain. Last two dry seasons have been very dry and the last two wets have been below average, well below. That means that the artesian basin is not getting the ground water soaking through. If there is no surface water over land to evaporate, it leads to even dryer conditions. We need a cyclone here, plenty of unpopulated places for them to cross land, and knowing what we know now, and prepared for them, deaths are rare.
 
Same Dave, 67 mm for the entire last year and not much better this year.
On top of that we have the mines sucking millions of Gigalitres a week outbid the ground, we have wells running dry now.

I have worked in many places that only get rain if they are lucky after a cyclone. I think we need a sarcasm emoji
