Morning all; well what a diverse country we live in. Storms in SA and Vic, and bushfire warnings in SE Qld,!! Expected max temp in Mt Gambier -12; est. max here on Sunshine Coast 30. Pity my poor hubby working as Traffic Controller here today!!!
yep 33 and fires on the south east of qld, as you say brass monkeys chasing oxy torches down south
still very little rain here though, storm expected to stay south of us, normally stops raining just on our speed limits, dust hasnt settled since last summer
we had 32 drops here last week, I think I caught them all
Well Dave, if it's stinking hot on our way to WA late Dec. hope you save some of those 32 drops in case we need to top up before we cross the plain with no trees!!
I froze them just so I can go to the freezer and remember what rain once looked like
you'll be right going across the nully, doesnt take long LOL!
great trip ahead, just enjoy it she'll be apples, we've done it many times in all sorts of weather and all sorts of vehicles including a blitzwagon/motorhome in summer and no side windows only canvas, wouldnt miss doing it again for quids, I'd go this arvo if I could
it's one of the "great trips" that all nomads should make at least twice, it's tottaly different coming back than when you remember it going over, speccy either way
peice of cake nowadays with high speed vehicles, our old blitz had her tongue hanging out at 80 kph, no air con and rock hard suspension
ah situation normal for down there then, we went to the other side of clare saturday to see the B.I.L. for his birthday, went through georgetown started raining about 10 k out of georgetown and didnt stop until about tarlee
left home at 20 degs dry as a bone and arrived at stockport with 14 degs and spitting with threatening clouds coming in from the south
Over here in Ulladulla NSW too. batton down the hatches
