    Odd rain Pattern (since confrmed as smoke plume from south-west Victorian wildfires)

    I'm watching BOM, I'm in Victoria, and there is a rain event just east of Ararat. It is growing out from some point and I don't know that I've seen anything like it before. Maybe I have but it does look strange.

    Geovic Gippsland

    I've had a look around but can't find anything on this. Over the years I've spent all my time in Central Victoria. I'm now having to look at Gippsland as the place to go as I have to watch the Petrol money. My go-to resource for mapping etc is Geovic, but when I put in the Diggings etc it...

    Hello

    Hi all. I'm new to the forum but I've been poking around the GT for a few years now. I built a couple of detectors in the late seventies. They were very crude by todays standards and were no pleasure to use. Didn't do much for the next twenty years or so untill we moved into Central Vic. Since...
