Hot enough for ya???11

I've home from the Gold Coast now. Am glad to get away from there, the wind on our last night on Friday was a bit strong for my liking, and at 17 floors high felt unusual. Also glad to get out as some roads could end up blocked if the predicted rainfall amounts turn into reality.
Just soft soaking rain here on the Liverpool Plains. Up to 23 mills now and looks like it might rain for days. This is the first soft rain we've had since the big dry started in early July. All the rain since July has just been hit and miss storm stuff.
Hoping for the forecast 75 mills over a few days. That will be just perfect. Sorghum crop looks fantastic now, and could be a bigger than average yielder.
See ya's.

You left just in time TC. Blowing a gale here, worse than yesterday and Friday and I don't think the worst of it has arrived yet.
BTW, the parklands at Broadbeach are now most appropriately coloured for the Oz Day weekend. Even with yesterday's mild rain they are now green and gold rather than the parched yellow of Friday. By tomorrow with the wet conditions they will be fully green. They bounce back quickly. I hope we don't get the strength of winds that hit around the Bundaberg precinctand, further north.

wow..that's a lot
That is a lot. Where in Brisbane are you Hoffy?
I'd be guessing we've had up to 80 - 100mm where we are on the GC and that's from pool level. I only backwashed a couple of hours ago. The winds are intense though and getting worse.
Samford. 20km NW of CBD. Cedar Creek (base of Mt Glorious) a further 10-15kms out has had over 250mm since this morning. They should crack 12 inches in less than 12 hours.
Rain is ok, it's the trees falling over that annoy me. As luck would have it I serviced the chainsaw last week.
80ml here in Quirindi since Friday night. Just the ticket...!
Just hit 100 mills. OK, that will do, It's all just running off now. Creeks flowing again. Waters running every where.
See ya's.
See ya's.
There's a tugboat in Canberra?
Plenty of rain and wind here in Port Mac. Apparently it's swinging around and coming back as well. Koolumbung creek came within 2cm of breaking it's banks, and we had water coming up through the drains in the main street. Very lucky compared to Grafton.
Yes, it goes to Tuggers.There's a tugboat in Canberra?
(The local nickname for the town centre of Tuggeranong, for the uninitiated).
Update, at the moment I am in SYD working and it is raining here, but in VIC we are "dry as a chip". Really dry.
Great for apple and fruit orchards etc as the water reserves are full and the weather hot but everywhere is dusty and cracks in the ground.
FYI Peter
