Queensland's been suffering from a lot of rain recently. Not just a bit but regular downpours that are saturating the ground and leading to frequent flooding - we've had over 640mm of rain this year. There was a bad cyclonic event over Australia Day, and the following weekend you could see the clumps of debris that had been left behind after the waters swept through the local flood relief drain
Note the debris not just at the base of the lamp post but a third of the way up
A month later not much has improved - we had a weekend of solid rain, and on Sunday afternoon I cracked and went for a ride in what I thought was a dry period. It was a classic 'suckers gap' - in fact it was raining again by the time I closed the garage door - but it was good to get out and stretch my legs. You can see that the flood drain had been active again.
Apparently there's yet another cyclone due to hit up North so this cycle will continue. Bring on the dry season!
