Hope you have battened down the hatches and stowed everything away Vic. Hope all goes well and it isn't as severe as stated. Thinking of you and all those in the area.

Thanks Ma, we're leaving for that area (Kalgoorlie) tomorrow, so hopefully all blown over by then. Hope the Tezza's (in Lienster) sit it out ok.
Doesn't seem to matter where anyone is at the moment GS, the whole country seems topsy turvy with the weather at the moment, the man upstairs must be very angry with us all !
