Got a lazy 15.8mm of rain this morning in that lot. Don't want rain this arvo though as i'll be going to see AC/DC, and now the suns out it'll be heating up nicely for the storms they forecast to hit here in the afternoon / evening. Looking at the radar there's already cells firing up again and moving in from the West

So the decision to go was the right one.

We didn't get a drop of rain. The only thing that was wet were the beers.

Thanks so much for helping me decide.

I was driving all Sunday around Newcastle & Lake Macquarie, and got some very, very heavy rain in patches. I would not like to have been camping up there.
