Well, mainly because I'm with my dad now. He thinks he'll end up being posted to Darwin or maybe even sent off to Afghanistan next year. I'll either probably move to Adelaide and do a course there, or head back to Cairns where my mother & brothers are.

Had a great day cassowary wise. Two in a matter of minutes. Be careful driving in cassowary country.

That whole piece is excellent. Great find. The start makes me miss the build up to the wet season.

Well, trackie dax and flannie shirt on for the third night in a row.

Yeah, brilliant, but it's been pulled as I was a very naughty boy and multi posted it. Very contrite after being "modded" due to apparent complaints for posting it on several forums. Wont do that again, irrespective of wether something may be of interest or not.
So as it has been pulled and you have commented, here is the link , but mods I promise to leave it here on my home forum..... Okay?.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjbpwlqp5Qw

Min temps of 12's and 11's over the next few nights for Cairns. Will surely be much cooler on the tablelands and at the bottom of the ranges and valleys. Brrr!

Some beautiful temps up there at the moment!

Even though I love the cold, it's a bit difficult waking up in the morning when everything outside is covered in ice.

Probably will end up moving back to Cairns with the rest of my family next year. I can stand the heat, but Darwin is a bit over the top!!

off to stock the freezer , been enjoying these great days on the water

Down to 11 degs tonight the forecast.. I'll need the long sleeves.

$50 bucks says he'll be charged with her murder. It's just about always the husband or a relative.

off for another exhilarating ride down the river with the cold land breeze at my stern and the glow of morning on the bow

What a great time of year .

cheers workers

10 degs at home at the moment making it the coldest morning so far this year.

How did you go..?hope you are feasting on some lovely fresh tropical fish..

The weather has been magic this week down here.
Decided thursday was the pick wind wise so put off a couple of jobs and customers and pulled my 11yr old fishing mad son out of school and headed out wednesday evening for a couple of nights at the reef..

Only trouble was the fish were on the bite and we filled the 210 litre esky by lunchtime next day and had to come home ...great fun watching my boy struggling to land nannigai one after the other...caught some spanish on floaters and live bait as well but the boy was reluctant to take the rod for them.. hopefully next time he will have a bit more
confidence..just magic watching him mature into a little man..

Wind was 10-12 knots going out and dropped off to 5-6 knots next morning...varied from Sou'west in the morning swinging around more Sou'east in the arvo..overnight was very mild and despite the clear skies not really cold at all..

Its days like that this that make life in the tropics so special.. and the boy even wanted to take in his teachers favourite fresh mangrove jack fillets to her today ,so that was a nice gesture to see as well..

Hopefully we will see few more windless days in between the high pressure systems from now on..

Yep all went too plan Planting starts on Monday so I will probably miss a couple of months of good weather , so it was nice too get the opportunity too fill the freezer befor hand..

Sounds like great times Pogo , my daughter so wanted too come out but year 12 is just too full on too miss a day for fishing .

Cheers

Windy this arvo in town. As we drove home a fire broke out on the slopes behind forest gardens (still burning) .

At least the nights are warmer with these sth easters. 4 more nights of winter chill before I start a new adventure of daytime work.

Showers are forecast loclly next week. It wuld be very timely with the garden needing a nice soaking. It is starting to look like we may actually have a neutral pattern next summer rather than BoM's forecast nino which bodes well for our wet season.

Warm neutral seem to deliver the best CS tc action historically.
