We've swapped from the camper to a van yay! :)

We are camping up the Murray. Bigsteve, Black Diamond and our family are all safe after surviving the tornado that ripped through here yesterday. Today will be a day of drying things out. The campers surived much better than some others camped on the same beach.

Turquoise sky is something that is not to be taken lightly, photos to come

Yep. Saw on the news that the north of the state copped it.

Hope everyone got through it OK.

A bit of a stiff breeze, and some rain, was all we got at home.

The same area got hit pretty hard 2 or 3 years ago IIRC.
Having a tough few years, weather-wise.

yes, caravan park at Yarrawonga took a hit, and 2years prior to that Koonamoo Store (between Combram and Tocumwal) lost its roof and major property damage in the immediate area.
Could be Aus's own tornado alley
