Very heavy rain on Friday night and Saturday morning in Brisbane
(Preview)
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

Free camping on the Nullarbor Plain

We are planning a trip from Adelaide to Perth in March and we are new to the grey nomad thing and were wondering if anyone has ever had any trouble in the free camps along the Nullabor Plain. Im a bit nervous about camping in the middle of nowhere alone. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Hmm the wind has picked up and its from the NE, not good.
(Preview)
Visibility about 50m at the most. We are house sitting at Berrima NSW, packed up and all ready to move out. The seat of the fire is still 46km away, but the online map of the fires looks like it is suspect. Looks like we will definitely be seeing the new year in and some. Happy new year to you all.
