Heard a story of cars w caravans, ordinary vehicles and vans full of backpackers, all in a line and backed up down the side of the highway at Billabong, just waiting fuel up. Numbers were big. Plus, everywhere is booked out so many less organised people are having to park up in any little bush track they can find. Ive got some spy's up there who'll let me know if/when the numbers move on. I suppose when it starts warming up - "it's then that those louses will go back to their houses !" The way things are going in Indo, I'm wondering if Bali will ever open up again ?

Blue Sky most of the day but a few clouds gathering at dusk.
18 degrees currently with a slight breeze.
Fantastic but typical Brissy winters day.
I think that as a nod to winter, I'll put on my ugg boots & dressing gown and settle down in a recliner with a few nice reds until dinner is ready.

We have just had 10 inches of rain in the last 8 hours. We all are currently getting a new sewerage system fitted to our town. The new tanks have all popped up out of the ground, over 50 of them so far. Our one as well, as well as it is a quagmire in the yard where they were working on Thursday last. Even my pavers are popping up, and they have been laid for 20 years. It's just that we have had massive amounts of rain in the last 4 months, that the ground is thoroughly saturated. And today's rain is only the start for the next 14 days of rain. I can see our river the Gwydir, breaking it's banks, and maybe water going over the flood wall at Copeton dam downstream. This will be the wettest this area has been in 17 years when we had 3 major floods, over 2 weeks.

We have had a lot of rainy days but not too heavy & no flooding in our area (Brisbane).
Lawn is growing madly but too wet to mow.
My vege garden is going gangbusters with beans & cucumbers at their peak. Unfortunately the Zucchini's are getting too much water & rotting. They'll be right when the sun comes out.
Temperature is 22 degrees ATM ... beautiful for the last day of Spring. Just hope that summer is not too hot (or humid).

A cooler day than we have been accustomed to. 31.7 at present with 75% humidity.
Sun is shining , but going to get wet soon.
Caretaking Moreton Telegraph Station, Cape York.
The 'Low' off shore is forecast to become TC Tiffany & cross the Cape within the next couple of days. Forecast as to where it will cross has moved southward away from us.
Have been watching with interest as initially as much as 525mm accumulated rainfall in the Wenlock catchment was forecast. We have the boat tied up alongside the house.
However the forecast has now reduced that figure to a bit over 100mm if the Cyclone crosses further south (as in the path shown in this latest chart).
Neverthless we have been moving machinery to high(er) ground today just in case
I feel like a piece of battered fish without the chips this morning as boy did we cop a battering last night. Torrential rain with thunder and lightning, damaging wind and even a couple of fires and road accidents, here in N E VIC. Here at base camp around the Wangaratta/Benalla area we even had a power outage for 6 hours. I am glad I have a 3 way fridge when things like that happen. The fridge in the teepee was changed to gas and the camp freezer under awning was on 12v anyway so all good in the fridge/freezer department. Luckily no damage to my aluminium teepee or Collie but the van a couple of sites away were not as lucky. Flooded in the annex and in van as well. All that in just 45mins.
Yep, a rough 45mins. From all reports all of VIC coped a battering.
Keep Safe out there all.

You beat me to it Chief, very similar here in Lavington, thunder lightning rain from all directions somehow, 47mm in less than an hour from 9.30pm. Just a brief blip of power out, but ABC TV out for 20 min or so, enough to lose the plot. 85% feewmidity this morning, worse than Qld from my memory.

Had a good week chain sawing and block splitting (arms are a bit longer now), and getting ready for the cooler months, then someone open the furnace door.
At least it will be nice and dry.

Boondall, a northern suburb of Brisbane 190 mls of rain from 6 am to 9.30 pm then another 182 mls to 6 am this morning.
A record of 372 mls of rain for us who have been living in Queeensland since 1985. We don't believe we have every had a day in Brisbane where the rain has continued no stop in a 24 hour period and I mean non stop. It is not damaging rain in Boondall with the excess water running down the large drainage system though our near by park into the huge wet lands which drains into bay.
Interesting times.

Continuous rain here on Brisbane Southside, but it was far worse up at Somerset Dam where we had set up our tenting camp for a week of trapping of Redclaw.
The sleeping module on the Gazebo failed at 1am & I had to relocate the sopping wet bed to the other sleeping module. Made a 'bed' from a dry tarpaulin for broken sleep until 3am when I was woken by water splashing onto my face.
The gazebo had pooled water in the roof until its weight broke the frame which sagged to below waist level just outside my door. Had to crawl out over the soaked floor. A knife through the roof fixed that!
Packed up in the rain after retrieving the traps (20 redclaw, so failed there too). Gazebo into the bin.
Turned out to be a good decision to leave. The rain has only increased since we left & I expect that the area would be cut off by now.
That was the last tenting outing for this 80 year old. Caravan only from now!
AHHH..., no terriwa. I canned the idea till the numbers up there reduce substantially. Heard a story of cars w caravans, ordinary vehicles and vans full of backpackers, all in a line and backed up down the side of the highway at Billabong, just waiting fuel up. Numbers were big. Plus, everywhere is booked out so many less organised people are having to park up in any little bush track they can find. Ive got some spy's up there who'll let me know if/when the numbers move on.
I suppose when it starts warming up - "it's then that those louses will go back to their houses !"
The way things are going in Indo, I'm wondering if Bali will ever open up again ?
Meanwhile down here in Hamelin Bay, there's just another day's front with 100kmh + gusts sliding by..., on it's way out into the Southern Ocean..., and thence on to SA and Tassy.
Meanwhile, I'll keep the home fires burning....., Ho Hum !
