Cattle stations across the north of Australia, in WA, the NT and Queensland receive significant rain — thanks to two cyclones.
Supplied: Brent SmoothyOwner Annabelle Coppin described the weather as a"perfect storm".Brent Smoothy, from Hillside Station said the 130mm of rain in his gauge would take the pressure off."We had to get it somewhere, and [Hillside] is where the bulk of our cattle are so it's great news for us."Ex-Tropical Cyclone Trevor was still a category one system when it passed over Cresswell Downs and Walhallow Stations in the northern Barkly region late on Saturday night.
Manager Adrian Brown said while he expected there would be a very small number of cattle losses from the wet and windy conditions, it was a relief to finally see some decent wet season falls.
