Well it will be an interesting trip with the way this weather is going.

It is still overcast here with spasmodic showers now and then. They are still getting some rain up north also here and there but not anything heavy, but enough to add some excitement on the tracks.

Talk about a long wet season.

That's one thing I can't organize is the weather  ;D

Too many Victorians must have bought their weather up  ;D

If the rain stops when we get to Cairns, can we take credit for it??

I know we'll cop the blame if it doesn't..............

You will get full credit if it stops for sure  ;D

If it doesn't, the consequences will be pretty bad  ;D
