Rain Splashed Country

So this cyclone was wandering around over the Top End around Christmas time... it hit land as a category 4 storm if memory serves, which it probably doesn't, since I seem to remember the storm was called Larry.

Anyway within a couple of days of it hitting land it dispersed and soon enough central Australia started getting lots of rain, then it came over here... the Gold Coast has been flooded and we have had lots of rain here with some pretty good storms.

We went for a ride at the brook one day - Eloise insisted - and it looked like the water had been up over the footbridges.

We haven't had as much rain here as some have - even in South Brisbane they've had more than us - but the grass has gone mental and needed emergency mowing treatment.

Needless to say everyone is now convinced that the drought is over, as they are every time rain happens.
