Brisbane and the South East (of Queensland) has actually received some reasonable rain, the best falls in the last two years. Around 4 inches (100mL) has been deposited across the region, sadly we still need much, much more. With our average dam storage at 18% it will take the floods that are plaguing East Gippsland and the Hunter regions down south to fix our water problems, but at least it has given the community here a sense of hope. Oh, I should also mention that it has been very cold here in Brisbane. Two days ago it was a min of 16C, max of 16C here. Today I think it has been 7-15. We're off next week for several days to North Stradbroke Island just off Brisbane in Moreton Bay. 'Straddie' is my favourite place on the planet. We'll be there with a few friends for a delightfully relaxing mid winter break. Walks on the beach, a roaring fire, the sound of the surf, good food and great wine, friends and conversation...doesn't get much better.
