My ladyfriend's parents moved to dorrigo last year, so we spent 7 days there over christmas. Rained every day, several times a day.
I am sure it has it's appeal, but it woudn't be my choice.I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

Dorrigo is near the headwaters of the Nymboida River, which is well known as a white water rafting destination. So high rainfall is good, although you don't want it flooding because then it gets dangerous. A guide was telling me they lost 2 or 3 people in one year back in the early 90's.

If you go to this heading in BOM, and click the link:
Flood Warnings, Rainfall and River Information
You can then click on
Forecast Rainfall
It will bring up an interactive map which displays forecast rainfall, and also CHANCE OF RAINFALL. SWMBO has found it quite accurate and useful.
First part is absolutely untrue sorry. The radar radiation travels at the speed of light, the images are updated every 6minutes on the BOM site, so the furthest behind the data will be, from realtime is 6 minutes. Looping the images is useful to determine the speed and direction, say, a storm is moving, we use it quite a bit. You can see the time stamps on the images.
