Rain, Rain, Rain

Wolfenden Road, Calavos - 3rd June 2012

After Bundaberg Airport weather station received over 118.6mm of rain to 9am this morning, I went to look at some roads in the area that I normally see in milder conditions.



The Elliott River at Dr May's Crossing - 3rd June 2012



Goodwood Road at Yellow Waterholes * 3rd June 2012

Both Coral Cove and Innes Park golf courses were inundated. Then there was hazardous water and debris across School Lane, Back Springfield Road, Dahls Road, Three Chain Road, Hummock Road, Dr May's Crossing Road, Douglas Road, Darlingtons Road, Cockeralls Road and, no doubt many others - take care.

Model A Ford Annual Meeting - Ipswich 2012

I recently discovered an old workmate was travelling with 4 other Model A Fords from Perth to Ipswich. I left sunny Bundaberg yesterday lunchtime and it hasn't stopped raining since I left - constant drizzle, not even real rain!!! Last night I camped at Chinchilla Weir, just out of Chinchilla, of course.

This morning I phone up my friend and they had stayed the night in Auguthella, so I was a fair way east of them. I decided to drive to Roma and meet up with them there. One car had a problem with a wheel bearing and stub axle, and another has been running on 2 cylinders for tha last 2000km.

More later but here are a couple of pictures from today's drive.

Nissan beats Holden at Mebourne GP meeting

Although you wouldn't know it from Ten's coverage of the GP meeting, Nissan beat Holden in both races at the GP meeting.

The Group A/C races have always profided close racing and great entertainment, but again were not part of Ten's coverage this weekend - damn!!!!

Oh well, back to the box -it's still raining here in Bundaberg
