That was seriously nasty. Glad I wasn't on a bike last night.

:scared:

Indooropilly got it real bad. The journey from Spring Hill to Chapel Hill last night was just like driving on marbles and it was still settled this morning when I came through.

So much for the sunshine state!

Tough break, how long you been in Brisbane. When I left England it was dropping to -10 in the midlands, and when I arrived in Melbourne it was 37 that day I nearly died.

Clear blue skies every day with 26 degrees in the day and a chilly 18 in the night. Should have packed the hot water bottle

Yeah, I missed out there.
Could have sold it to the Brissie folk.

Wouldn't have been able to sell it in Perth.
You're too isolated
