Sadly the Cyclone death toll in New Zealand rises to 11 as recovery continues with fears for 10 other missing persons. :-( |

They certainly have a mess on their hands. :-( Former tropical cyclone Gabrielle death toll could rise in New Zealand as cabinet meets to discuss recovery plan. |

It may not have turned into a cyclone, but that tropical low certainly dropped some rain up north and some of it will drain off into S.A.. Gulf of Carpentaria isolated by floods for several weeks after welcome monsoonal rain. Stay safe and dry. Cheers. |

It's happened again. :-O Fish 'rained from the sky', outback community says, in freak weather event. Residents of a remote outback community have been left marvelling at the heavens as fish "rained from the sky" in a surprising, but not unheard of, weather event.Cheers. |

Well Sydney copped it again. Sydneysiders went from sun and blue skies to ominous dark clouds within the hour, bringing widespread chaos to the state. And the Newcastle region is copping it right now. I wonder if it will reach this far north. Stay safe and dry. Cheers. |

Meanwhile across the gutter. 'We had to dig our way in': In NZ, the water has receded, but the mud has stayed. And there's a lot of it. Stay safe over there. Cheers. |

While down in South Aussieland Nearly two months after the flood peak passed, the South Australian River Murray town of Paisley is still in a pool of water, and residents have been left wondering why authorities did not do more to help them in the first place, and there's still good flows coming down the Murray Darling system. Though there are a few rivers in that system that are having a hard time draining now. Macquarie River blocked in stretches as flood-time debris accumulates. And then there's that region down at the bottom of this big hill. NSW Resilient Homes buybacks begin in Northern Rivers but anxious residents feel 'no certainty'. But what else could you expected from such an incompetent scandal plagued state government? |

Our weather stats for this February in the Northern Tablelands saw our average low being down by 1.1C at 11.7C while the av. max was up by 1.1C at 26.8C. The av. rainfall was also down again falling 15mm short with 75mm and behind on our av. year to date total of 188.7mm with just 120.5mm. Anyhow, let's see what March has in store for us here. Cheers. |

The southern lights have been spotted well north. Aurora australis lights up skies across New South Wales as solar cycle nears its peak. Cheers. |

It's the Northern Territory's turn now. Federal government approves ADF assistance to evacuation of flooded NT remote communities. ....About 700 people are being evacuated from the communities of Kalkarindji, Daguragu, Pigeon Hole and Palumpa....Stay safe and dry. Cheers. |

While in Queensland's north the problems continue on. Gulf of Carpentaria residents ready for it to 'stop raining' as communities enter third month of isolation. Stay safe and dry. Cheers. |

While the outback floods here have provided many benefits there's a feral pest, that we can certainly do without, whose population is exploding. :-( Fishers catch up to 18,000 carp as flooded Murray Darling Basin sees population boom. Hundreds of people from across Australia have helped to remove thousands of carp from an iconic South Australian lake, in an attempt to put a dent in the pest fish's population.There's a lot of fertiliser out there people, get into them. ;-) Cheers. |

Holy moley. Unprecedented flooding sparks evacuations in north-west Queensland, Gulf of Carpentaria Unfortunately, i can't find any pictures to show what the place usually looks like relative to it's position with the river, but Camooweal has been hit by record flooding. The Puma roadhouse at the start of the video in the linked story is about 500m from the river, and quite a bit above the main channel. It's just a mind-boggling amount of water going down the Georgina River to reach as far as the roadhouse (after a few thousand km it will eventually make it's way to Lake Eyre). The Gregory River at Riversleigh previous record high was 10.8m in 1971. It's currently at 18m. Grant Darwin NT |

Oh, and following the flooding that wiped out the Fitzroy River Crossing bridge (estimated time to repair/replacement varies between 2-3 years), the other main route to northern WA has been closed for several days due to the Victoria River Crossing bridge being under water. The bridge deck is 19.5m high, the river peaked at 22m. While the water is now back well below the bridge deck, it's looking like a day or 3 before it will be opened to traffic again, pending engineering assessments. Grant Darwin NT |

After 177 days. Longest New South Wales flood operation in SES history finally over after nearly six months. Cheers. |

That pesky tropical low is still causing problems in the north as the rain is just starting to cross the border with a drenching expected here tonight and right on through the weekend. Gulf residents prepare for mass evacuation as record Queensland floods continue. Burketown's airstrip is partially flooded and helicopters are being used fly people to safety.Stay safe and dry. Cheers. |

Things really aren't looking good over the coming year(s). A pattern is emerging in Australia's year-to-year weather variability, and anything that isn't La Niña, or its Indian Ocean equivalent, has become virtually indistinguishable. Neutral years now resemble El Niño Grant Darwin NT |

12 months ago. Yesterday. For an idea of scale- it's 280km from Tennant Ck to Newcastle waters by road. Grant Darwin NT |
