Currently our district relies on weather data from St. George Queensland (4487), which is 95kms north of our town, Mungindi in New South Wales (110kms away) or alternatively Walgett, which is 205kms from our district. We have irrigated cotton growers in the district who rely on this information to make critical business decisions. Often the data from St. George, Mungindi or Walgett is not indicative of our district weather conditions or local historical data. A local weather station unit would solve this.
