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

The sun is up late at this time of year and by 4pm is peaking under the awning of my van. My feeble attempts to block it with tarps are unsuccessful.

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.
