With 2 lows heading our way we are in for some wet weather. This should make the Cape trip interesting.  ;D

If you believe the weather forecasters, that is not going to happen, but what do they know. ;D

I've had a bit over 2 meters already this year .
Link to rain chart in my signature below. lol
I think the GoC system will bring the best chance for some good falls in our region , if it was just the Coral sea system it will just suck our rain south as it go's .

Bring it on , I'm a self confessed

Mate after going through Yasi you are prepared for anything. Always have to make sure the  :cheers: is well stocked.  ;D

It would be nice to see the whole of QLD get a good drink .

Unfortunately however while I have had a great wet season , you don't have too go far too find country that while green at the moment, won't hold up through the DRY without lot's more rain ..
