Murray-Darling catchment
The Murray–Darling Basin is the largest and most complex river system in Australia. It runs from Queensland, through New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia, spanning 77,000 kilometres of rivers, many of which are connected.
Towns and rural communities across the Basin rely on a healthy river system—our economy, food security and well being depend on it, now and into the future.

Climate shifts…natural variation
I have started this blog post because today l have found out all major search engines are re routing the search string ‘climate shift’.
If you enter this term into any search engine, it will respond with pages and pages of ‘climate change’
We are being prevented from viewing alternative theories to man made climate change theories or facts, folks.
I will make an attempt to collect some links to climate regime shift sites that focus on natural variability.
I have tried alternatives to google and they ALL redirect the term ‘climate shift’
…You can get around this by..
Using google scholar…
which will accept the string ‘climate shift’ and lead you to alternative research on the reasons for global temperature trends other than AGW
or
on on the main google search engine page use talking marks on the search string which over rides the ban on the term… climate shift

ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS….Australia
Atmospheric rivers are relatively long, narrow regions in the atmosphere – like rivers in the sky – that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics.

From Ex cyclone Trevor to the west coast of New Zealand.
Some exceptional rainfall falling as the stream pours its ‘goods’ on the NZ coast.
ACCESS r showing the moisture stream /river flowing from ex Cyclone Trevor through the NSW/QLD border coast and on to west NZ
This is the path of a surface trough and the stream directed by an ana branch of the sub tropical jet on the Australian mainland connecting to the exit arm of a sub tropical jet to NZ.
The 200hpa stream overlaying the surface troughing.

I think that is fair to say that is an atmospheric river.
Also a heat , moisture. conveyor belt from the tropics to the higher latitudes.
In this case the river is feeding into a trough in the westerly belt, 40-45 degs latitude

An epic rain event occurring at the moment on the west coast of the south island, even by West Coast standards this is WET and the biggest event in 20 years for some locations.
