-3 this morning and a top of 6 here at Grindelwald, Tassie today

Cupie · Guru

Bugger me ... I just can't imagine being in a caravan in the conditions of the previous couple of posts.

Here in Brissy it was 9 to 22 ... no wind or rain.

Tropical down pour in the middle of summer ... that's OK but cold & wet no way.

Wizardofoz · Guru

Wet and quite cool in Port Douglas, at best 24 degrees today.

Never noticed minus here in Canberra. Nice toasty warm bed. Got up this morning, sun shining brightly, not a cloud in the sky. Calm as. Just like the winter days we used to have. Beautiful.

At the moment we have a down grade cyclone swinging past the very South West corner. Still dark outside - winter right ! Wind is howling but quite warm. There's been quite a bit of rain. We had something similar cross the S/W corner about a month ago.
In fact there's been quite a few 'low cells' make it down here for the last 6 or 8 months. It's a La Nina thing. Warm water in the Northern Indian Ocean sending complex low pressure systems down our north west coast. Very, very rare that they make it down this far though. A few night's ago there was a line of brass monkeys outside my door..., looking for a welder !

Typical beautiful winter's day here in Brissy.

14 degrees max predicted 20, blue sky with a slight breeze.

So it's window washing today for me .. Bit of a wet task to reach the outside of the top story windows. No job for a windy day like yesterday.

It would be perfect to be out in the van beside a nice bit of water, billy boiling & the camp oven sitting nearby, ready for tonight's cook up.

The view from my window of the Murray near Murray Bridge is beautiful, but it's 'bitey' if I go outside

Cupie · Guru

It's been a close to perfect SE Queensland winter's day today.

Woke up to blue sky, just cool enough to encourage us to stay in bed till circa 9am. The temp managed to get up to around 22 at our place with a very mild breeze.

I should be out by a riverbank in the van (he says once again).

Hamelin Bay..., it's yet another cold winter front swinging through. Crikey..., they're like ice cold spokes on a bicycle wheel..., swinging past every day now.
Coming to an west coast near you SA, Tassy and Victoria...., in a few days.

And it goes on in Hamelin Bay. Another one hitting at 10.00pm. Sandyfreckle have you headed north yet?

AHHH..., no terriwa. I canned the idea till the numbers up there reduce substantially. Heard a story of cars w caravans, ordinary vehicles and vans full of backpackers, all in a line and backed up down the side of the highway at Billabong, just waiting fuel up. Numbers were big. Plus, everywhere is booked out so many less organised people are having to park up in any little bush track they can find. Ive got some spy's up there who'll let me know if/when the numbers move on.
I suppose when it starts warming up - "it's then that those louses will go back to their houses !"
The way things are going in Indo, I'm wondering if Bali will ever open up again ?
Meanwhile down here in Hamelin Bay, there's just another day's front with 100kmh + gusts sliding by..., on it's way out into the Southern Ocean..., and thence on to SA and Tassy.
Meanwhile, I'll keep the home fires burning....., Ho Hum !

Cupie · Guru

Blue Sky most of the day but a few clouds gathering at dusk.

18 degrees currently with a slight breeze.

Fantastic but typical Brissy winters day.

I think that as a nod to winter, I'll put on my ugg boots & dressing gown and settle down in a recliner with a few nice reds until dinner is ready.

We have just had 10 inches of rain in the last 8 hours. We all are currently getting a new sewerage system fitted to our town. The new tanks have all popped up out of the ground, over 50 of them so far. Our one as well, as well as it is a quagmire in the yard where they were working on Thursday last. Even my pavers are popping up, and they have been laid for 20 years. It's just that we have had massive amounts of rain in the last 4 months, that the ground is thoroughly saturated. And today's rain is only the start for the next 14 days of rain. I can see our river the Gwydir, breaking it's banks, and maybe water going over the flood wall at Copeton dam downstream. This will be the wettest this area has been in 17 years when we had 3 major floods, over 2 weeks.

All this rain is OK, its not seeing the sun that is getting to me. Cloud, rain,cloud, rain etc. I hope the gum tree that has been there for 100yrs doesn't fall.

Burnett heads 300 mil in a week and last 2 days poured day and night my beautiful green lawn is all a mess ive had to dig trenches for run off .we are told more to come
My guess is we are probably up to 330 mil now
Cant do a thing till it dries out but im sure there are a lot worse off then myself so im grateful that im not flooded in .
Stay safe everybody :)

Cupie · Guru

We have had a lot of rainy days but not too heavy & no flooding in our area (Brisbane).

Lawn is growing madly but too wet to mow.

My vege garden is going gangbusters with beans & cucumbers at their peak. Unfortunately the Zucchini's are getting too much water & rotting. They'll be right when the sun comes out.

Temperature is 22 degrees ATM ... beautiful for the last day of Spring. Just hope that summer is not too hot (or humid).

Craig1 · Guru

Just over 25mm(that is a fair bit for us) in 15 minutes of bad temper tantrum, strong winds and thunder to accompany.

Bobdown · Guru

Merry Bloody Christmas in Perth........41 degrees and rising, 44 forecast for tomorrow.

26 degrees in Mount Barker at the moment..........cheers Bob
