Residents in Central West Queensland are rejoicing after overnight storms brought patchy downpours to their drought-stricken properties.
Jess Gardner from the Bureau of Meteorology said there were also decent falls at Fairview, Quilpie and Blackall, which had not recorded any rain for months.
With more rainfall due across the region on Wednesday and Thursday, local residents are hoping that this is the start of a more positive season after the long spell of dry weather.
