Just as an aside,
It will be good to get the drilling on the Lake over and done with.
If it's not money issues for funding drilling or Native Title disputes etc then the weather would be a real nuisance if it set in and rained heavy enough to restrict access or mobilisations.

Hints of a negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on thehorizon
BenDomensino, Tuesday May 18, 2021 - 21:32 EST
There are signsthat a negative Indian Ocean Dipole could develop during the middle of this year,raising the odds of wet weather in some parts of Australia.
The Indian OceanDipole (IOD) refers to an index that measures the difference between seasurface temperatures on the western and eastern sides of the tropical Indian Ocean.
When the IOD is negative,warmer-than-usual water sits on the eastern side of the Indian Ocean, near Indonesia, while cooler-than-average water liesin the west, near Africa. This patternenhances the amount of moisture in the atmosphere near Australia,which typically causes more rain in some parts of the country during winter andspring.
