Last year, Mundaring was the fullest I have seen it - it's not a very important dam for Perth anyway.
I think that, overall, the water situation is not too bad.

'.... not too bad' !! Thats why the sprinkler/hosepipe has been extended.

From what I have read/heard, water management in WA is far superior to the rest of the country.
