After a dry day down to 34% humidity yesterday afternoon, it was a very pleasant cool morning here this morning down to 16.1°C at 5:46am.

Happy Birthday Firepac!!!!

Thanks nooty, quite a boring day weatherwise but I did get a Canon DSLR for my birthday so now can't wait till storm season to try to get some awesome ligthening/storm photos!!

Hope you had a great day Firepac, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Will have a rum for you


2nd 17.8C, 3rd 17.4C, 4th 17.1C

Had thick fog here on Tuesday amounting to 0.2mm.

Every1 have a fun and safe Easter break

Happy Birthday Firepac. Must be 25 this year are we? Hope you had a great day mate. Looking forward to the photos too.

Bit of a lull in the weather at the moment. But I guess that’s to be expected given the time of year. Was actually quite a glorious day. Fine, sunny, light wind, temps 18 – 29. What more could you want?

BTW, we’re all turning up at Ree’s place Sunday morning for an Easter egg hunt. Only joking. Although make sure you never show up at her place unannounced, she’s a pretty good aim with the shotgun!

Yeah, Firepac. Hope ya had a great birthday and many more to come.Hope you didn't drink too much.

Evening all and happy birthday Firepac.


Thought this time of year (holidays) it would be raining and blown a gale - nice weather for a change


Never mind shotgun, Ree's got her own local thunder-storms with lighning strikes, so bring your own camera and rain-guage.



Good to hear from you bigjohn. Been busy lately? Don't know about you but i'm looking forward to Easter. Hope the weather stays fine (for a change).

Hope you day was a good one Firepac - many happy returns.

Happy Birthday Firepac

And Happy Easter to everyone for the next few days.

I'm heading away tomorrow to do some camping up the range near Nebo, expecting cold temps up there over the next few mornings, last year when camping up there we had similar weather conditions and I recorded a min of 12 up there when it was 16 here. It was 16 here this morning, so I'd assume it would have been close to 12 up there this morning.
So I'll be sure to take some equipment with me and record the temperatures while up there over the next few days.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, what a great friendly bunch of weathernuts we have in our region.

Happy and safe Easter to all, hoping to wet a line and catch a few muddies.

I'm currently out camping at an area called Epsom, between Eton and Nebo. Cool and pleasant here at the moment.

Current temps are:
Here at Epsom: 19°C
Home at Eton: 22.4°C
Mackay AP: 24.8°C

PV,Thanks for the response to my last question.

Does the dew point ever drop below 16 deg here in Yeppoon in Winter or relative humidity below 45 percent. I have been here since November and the lowest humidity I have seen here was about 45 percent and I think the dew point was 14 deg. But it has only happened one or two times lately.

I suppose I am used to it living 7 yrs in Perth where the humidity got as low as 5 percent one summers day.


Weather must be dull if I keep popping into Central Coast forums and North Qld forums lol

Holy shoot just had a heavy shower out of the blue.

Good morning everyone.

A cool 15.5°C this morning here at the campsite, with a min of 17.8°C at home.

Around 6:30 this morning there were 2 extremely heavy showers, not much in total but torrential for a couple of mins

Something maybe for next Wed it seems

Happy Easter all

Happy Easter and Catch ya later off fishing for the weekend.

5.6mm from an early morning shower,only lasted about 10 mins

Woke up to clear skies so took my new camera out for a test drive, managed to capture this. Not the best but quite happy for a first attempt and without a proper tripod.

That's an excellent shot, Firepac! Happy Birthday for the other day, by the way. I've not been on here for a week or so & missed it! I gather you got the 7d? Which lens did you use to get this shot?

Thanks nthqlndr.

I got the 1100D and used the EF 75-300mm lens for that shot.
