A wonderful sight this morning to see our wetlands-dam full up to the brim again. Last night we had 120 mm or nearly 5 inches of rain with more forecast later today. Well, after all this is the Wet Tropics and it is officially our Wet season! The first cyclone of the year is forming in the Gulf of Carpentaria which is a long way to the west of us and too far away to affect us directly - it just means that North Queensland will have a few rainy days ... and the 24-hour surround-sound frog-symphony is still in full voice!
