Its tipped to be quite a long wet season this year. Floods last season were pretty bad at west, yet it looks like we are in for more of the same. And judging by the active hurricane season in the US, we could be in for a few cyclones

Re: Queensland: Wettest September on record.

You can probs blame it all on my lengthy family bringing in all the rain from Scotland

Re: Queensland: Wettest September on record.

The amount of rain that fell in brisbane this month is less than it gets on average in each of Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb & Mar - so get used to it!

Meanwhile we had our coldest Sep for 16 years.

It's all Polly's fault! She asked me to bring it before we came out.

I don't mind short bursts/downpours and then days of sunshine.

Yeah sure sounds like it. Should have gone to WA as originally planned.

I suppose it's much like Florida.

got it well planned, drink at the start, then shop in the middle while sobering up, drink again at the end.......sober up on plane back here, straight back to work the next night

And if the Great God of Volcanic Eruptions could come out to play again

I'm enjoying it while it lasts....this weeks storms are the start of the chaotic bit of the year, when I can go whole shifts without even turning on the laptop, never mind getting to look at BE

I emerge at the end of shifts like that with terrible shakes, not cos of stress or lack of alcohol, but from BE withdrawal

That's highly unlikely (read impossible) as we're not travelling at the same time as you, so don't even bother with travel insurance.
