OT Queensland weather

Yes. We heard that, too, and thought of you both. . In message , melinda writes

It would have to be some sort of super storm to stay as a cyclone and get all the way down as far south as I am :-) We might get a little rain and wind depending on where it tracks and the surf will probably get a litle dangerous, but at least so far it is staying off the coast.

Last I heard it was still a bit north of Bundaberg.

Australis is a BIG country :-) I'm a little north of Sydney and Bronnie is a litle south of Brisbane, but there is a LOT of country in between us.

Thanks Melinda and Pat! Still warm and slightly windy here. The cyclone has slowed right down near Gladstone and is expected to weaken as it tracks further south. We may just get some stronger winds and high seas about Wednesday. This ol' country of ours is having wacky weather in a short space of time - bushfires, floods, earthquake and a cyclone, plus snow on the alps very briefly when the cold front hit Victoria after the bushfires. Sheesh.

Cheers Bronnie

Sorry to confuse you, Melinda! I actually meant Bronnie and her DH. . In message , melinda writes

That's okay, there are some people who just don't realise just how big this country is.

It seems that Hamish has stalled, for now..
