[Paraview] Trying to get sensible axes

G'day Paraview list!
I am using paraview 3.14 to read in some gridded netCDF files I have
created that -semi- conforms to the CF conventions (there are still radar
variables that need to be added)

I can read in and do all kinds of nice things.... but now I am getting
picky :)

The reader seems to ignore my X,Y and height axes (or lat/lon)

Is my metadata wrong? (see attached header) what variable (or standard name
or metadata attribute) does paraview look for... Main thing I want is nice
looking cube axes..
Any advice gratefully recieved..
