We received a huge band on rain last night. It would have almost caused local flooding in many areas of the South East Corner of Queensland. Would have loved to have seen the rain also reach the south west and western regions of the State. But!!!!!! Jay&Dee

Hi Everyone, I will be crossing the Nullabour next week and thought I would stop and detour off the main road to check out the old homestead which I visited when I first crossed the Nullabour back in 1973.
