Oakey(Queensland) rain history ABC take note

Joe O’Brien(ABC News24 TV) with the help of an Oakey local has been spruiking how dire the drought is at Oakey. Joe gave a long time to a local guy who believed climate change was diminishing his rain but although Joe briefly said there were alternative views they got no air-time. Here is a chart of annual rain to end 2017 which shows there were dryer times in the Millenial drought, the mid 1990’s, and before and after WWI. The two sites overlapped 1971-1984 and the Post Office averaged 47mm PA more rain across the overlap so the composite chart takes that into account. Data from BoM Climate Date Online. Oakey Post Office 41077 and Oakey Aero 41359 For clearer chart
