Just returned home early from a weeks drenched camping at Hervey Bay... The management at the Happy Wanderer Camp site refused to refund any money during a cyclone, even whilst the site was almost completly empty... To55ers.:curse:

Did you seriously expect them to Act of god and all that malarky. Also it was forecast well in advance. Was it strictly speaking a cyclone?

No, it was verging on becoming one but never progressed beyond being a Tropical Low.

Still... It was a week of constant pi55ing down rain and having 5 nights left, they could have done the decent thing... I realise we should have just paid on a nightly basis instead of throwing them a wad of money at the start. The camp site never at any stage had punters queing up to get in.

Just one to watch out for folks...

Trust me, you'd have been well muddy. Lot of rain over the last couple of days on already sodden ground.

Last nights rain was heavy heavy heavy... even knocked a big branch off in the garden.

So what's happening with all those lows and highs what days will be worst?

Currently looks like rain increasing towards, and over, the weekend. Ex-cyclone Helen has all but fizzled out now, but I'm sure another one will be along before too long........

It's been really good down here the last two days. Damn humid of course but the flooded bits are drying out well. I'm sure there's another low on it's way. Oo er, as I type we have our first clap of thunder.

Shocking here today 35°C here with 78% humidity, it poured down last night & the mist was so thick it was like a smog at sun up this morning. I was outside tiling & soaked all day with sweat

All seems calm on the Eastern front here, just the odd shower, so I assume it's all over for now???
