It's just gone 7am here in Ulladulla NSW and we have had 2 inches of rain overnight. It doesn't look like it will let up any time soon either. Cold and Windy as well.

I notice a few of the members occasionally over the years have had a quiz going on it where they have to try & pick where a photo was taken & the winner then posted a photo of their own to be the next pic to be figured out & so on...
