Stay dry mates!

I'm doing OK...it's horribly wet and the wind is up and down between a strong breeze and nasty NASTY, but all is OK otherwise...so far.

I'm not sure about Pete and Tiks though mate...they are in a spot where it can get rather nasty at times. How are you guys traveling out there...all OK?

Thanks for the thoughts Gelandangan
From what I can see off the BOM we only got about 4", Pete around 5"
Just a nice steady rain here for most of yesterday and last night
The Gold Coast copped it 1' - 2' or about 10 times more then us

Sorry - Bowen really copped it, when the Low was still a cyclone

All good here, damp though.
Local roads cut and near 150mm of rain, no issues with the wind.
Yesterday proved the old Bill Crosby joke, just let it rain for a few days and wait for the sewers to back up, 40 days would be a waste of water.
Lots of places facing moderate flooding, houses flooded, roads flooded etc.
Its nice to be higher up the hill.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.
Cheers

No fish mate, but plenty of cane toads, green tree frogs and Water Dragons. Haha
