We retreated indoors today up in Stanthorpe. It's ffffffreezin. Managed to visit 2 breweries before the cold and wet got to me.there was about a 5 - 10 % chance that places such as Guyra (other side of Glen Innes, but gets similar weather to where you are) would see snowflakes on Sunday night / Monday morning, so if you are still there the heater should be cranked up for tonight

How long can you tread water Rumpig ??????????????i'll be fine mate, most of Brissy will be under water before it gets to my place. The usual places will likely flood, but I don't think it'll be Armageddon here, think NSW is supposed to cop it a lot worse then we will get.

That's good the water will flow past you , but l hope l can still see the roads as l head North later this week??haven't been keeping track of where you are travelling through, Southern coastal NSW was supposed to be where this system was going to hit worse the forecast had said. This system clears Qld tonight, water levels will drop quickly here after that but sounds like a few roads out West have had or are getting a nice drink.

A lot warmer here at Tin Can Bay than it would be back in Armidale. Wasn't too bad lad night swagging it, we're staying in a cabin for the next couple of nights and doing some exploring around the area now before heading back south via another night swag camping.
Mr and Mrs Edz will be in town tomorrow and we're going for lunch at the Marina Bar and Grill.
If ya have any interest, give me a call in the morning on 0411 545 025 (Between 8 and 10 would be good, as i'll be at the marina then, so just around the corner.

Nice bloke, him and his mate. Both seemed impressed too.
The water was sparkly clear, the sun, it was a shining, the Fraser barge was running.......
