It's been raining almost constantly in SEQ for the past couple of days.
Cooroy is copping a beating, poor b.uggers. More than 214.8mm today alone.
Gympie is on flood alert. The Mary River is ready to burst it's banks...again!

You will all need webbed feet and start building arks the way things are going Beth. It's just awful and yet there are still parts of Australia that would love to have some of the precipitation that is coming down in QLD

No Wombats on the Ark if you please. We do have a Wombat eradication programme under way at the moment and we really don't want anyone interfering with that programme.

That's more than 13 inches of rain in the old scale. What has Qld done to deserve all this rain? Poor buggers will have to take boats and wear flippers, goggles and snorkels to vote in the state election. The primary producers will have to go to growing rice as the whole state must look like a paddy field.

Thanks for the conversion CG. I knew it was alot, but couldn't remember the table.
I think you're right...there'd be very little dry ground anywhere in Qld.
I'm going to Toowoomba for a couple of days next week, and had planned to check out Murphys Creek along the way. Maybe not, me thinks.

Beth just remember 25ml is roughly an inch. A lovely day on south coast NSW - but we'd like some more of that rain too.

Bloomin' Heck...another 44C today.
Am so tired of entertaining myself indoors, but just loathe the heat.

I rang my son after reading the above posts. Biggenden doesn't get affected by the rain even though its not too far from Gympie. They've had a couple of lots of rain today. One quite heavy downpour but nothing like the rest of SE Qld is getting.

It's no fun trying to pack a van in pouring rain let me tell you, but we did get away this morning, cannot believe the amount of water lying around whilst heading north from SE Qld, felt we should have packed some floaties for the van as well!!!

I guess the mountains have something to do with that Marj. I know when I lived at Greenbank if a storm was coming from the south it would hit the mountains, split and go around us.

The sun is out at last and it's windy!
So I've opened all the windows to let the wind blow through and hopefully get rid of the damp smell.
My friend arrives from NQ tomorrow so I'm hoping for a relatively good forecast for the next 10 days.
