We are travelling out on Tuesday hope it is calmer by then!

Much the same as last year it seems!

Yikes Colin I think you better take a couple of umbrellas, but seriously have a good holiday.

Yeah, a bit fierce... but talk to Longbridge... I believe Brisbane took a bit of a lashing recently... par for the course in these parts!

It will be fine I'm sure. After all there's a plane taking off in the top picture.

(Not sure a landing will be so easy though)

No, No. Evidently visibility was so bad it was reversing in

May need to increase the baggage allowance, just off to weigh my oilskins, sou'wester and waders!

I shall take the Speedos, Akubra and sunnies just in case.

I did see some palms down but thats it. Theres the possibility that it might be showery tomorrow but as i look out the window there isnt a cloud in the sky. Certainly nothing like the photos!
