Welcome Rain in The Mackay District
« on: January 18, 2016, 06:03:51 AM »
Mackay has received some very welcome rain over the week end.....reports of over 5 inches in places....very nice to see.....it's a pity this hasn't occurred in all the areas that dearly need rain.

They will need flippers & floaties. I reckon we've had 100mm + since 3am.

More likely water polo that involves a ball :-) if it keeps raining.
One thing though, I'll bet they wont cancel the game, otherwise they'll never get another chance

Atleast they won't freeze to death, unlike playing in St Kilda when it's raining.

     I just called Harrup Park and at this point of time the game is still on.

Looks like the game surrendered to the "Mackay Curse" of being cancelled due to rain.

I think its happened to 2 or 3 cowboys games over the last 7 years

We've had over 200mm this weekend and it's still raining, staring to get a bit heavier now and is looking like setting in for the night.
Had fun with the boy driving thru the big puddles this arvo.
Might be an interesting drive into work tomorrow especially with a 6.5 m high tide.

          It's all good mate.....we arrived at Harrup Park about 2.00pm...Prepaid drinks and canapés started flowing and 1 1/2 hrs later after throwing quite a few beers and nibbles down our throats they said they would refund our $120.00.....All a win win situation....But was a pity about the game..... :cheers: :cheers:

                      Cheers Tracker.

                                            PS.    We've had enough rain for now ...
