Have a good day!

April was my third lowest rainfall month in my years of recording. Only got to 57.7mm. Lowest was 29.8mm in 1995 and 39mm in 2008. Not much else to talk about in April. Generally mild and fine. May's average temp should drop around 5C, according to what happened last year on my staton.

Get ready! Cool mornings and dry days are only just around the corner.
EC shows humidity levels dropping to around 30% over the weekend.

I'm heading out to a lil' town called Barcaldine, near Longreach tomorrow morning, will definitely be cool out that way over the next few days with BOM's forecast of 9° for Longreach on Saturday and OCF showing minimums around 7° on Sun/Mon & Tue.

Can I get a link to the EC site showing that ?

18 mm over the past week here beginning to get the mould under control finaly. Looking forward to may 19.
Please someone bring a laptop for some thumb drive slide shows as I would like to share some of my magical photography shots from up here in the gorge...
