Last year Strathalbyn recorded 19mm at the Strath Bowling Club's rainfall gauge in the first four months of the year. This year we've had 152mm to the end of April, with 67mm falling this month. Are you interested in more rainfall facts? To look at the monthly/yearly rainfall going back to 2008 go to the News and Events page on our website.

12.01.2022 It's finally happened - Our new website is live. Check it out at www.strathgardenclub.com.au Our old website had been using an outdated program that is not supported any longer, hence there had been no additions made to it in the last three months whilst working on our new format. ... Yes there are changes and some omissions but hopefully you will find all that you need. See more
