good to see rain filling the dams but for nth qld the wet season has only just started. it's a worry thinking about what may happen when the monsoon trough forms and starts to move south bringing our usual wet season let alone any cyclones which effect us in the next 4 months. even though nth qld is a great place to live it's not a good place for tourists this time of year.anything could happen in the next couple of months. take care driving rocan
I live and work in nq, and it is definately building up to the wet. I have just come back from a trip to Bundaberg, and it rained heavily all the way down, and most of the way back. I just got out of Marlborough before they closed the road, and was lucky to get back. Mackay was flooded and they had 250mm in Calen, just north of there.It has been the wettest Oct and Nov on record, and looks like a big wet up here. I usually go away in Feb and March to get away from the wet season,so hopefully it will hold off til then.
same here sunshine coast has copped a heap of rain and its driving me nuts its definetly almost leach time i reckon wish it would go away now ive had enough
Not too sure about that this year Jim... its pretty wet here too (NSW and ACT) PS if you call New south Welshmen co ckroaches, I dread to think what ACTans might be called!!!

tell me about it! Also I was in FNQ July/Aug/Sept during a rather wet "Dry" season
The c0ckroach epithet originated in the 1980s from Qld property developer Mike Gore of the "White Shoe Brigade" when he was developing Sanctuary Cove (I think) on the Gold Coast. He referred to NSW as "those c0ckroaches from south of the Tweed"

We had a nasty hail storm through yesterday and my poor Lucy car now has some dents. Not too many, but enough to make me a little sad. And no, poor Lucy doesn't have cover.
Another storm on the way as I write, so I'll be shutting down in a minute.
I thought about going down to the shops for cover, but just been down there and the undercover parking is full of Xmas shoppers cars!
