[Magdalen] Rain!

[Lesley de Voil]

That cold front produced a light shower here in sunny Queensland as the edge of it swept by. Other parts of Australia experienced their coldest June temps in a long time. Parts of Eastern Australia, however remain drought declared. There's an awful lot of weather around these days...

  The report on the rugby says it was extremely wet in Cape Town today, 
which probably helped England.
