Hi 'Girl',
Don't let the 'skeptics' put you off!!
Yes you will see rain, and big CB's etc.
Some are very 'speccy' - i.e. a good camera shot - just stay away from the 'very near proximity' of them....and, anywhere you go, and you have a preference, then choose to use sealed strips whereever rain is imminent / an everyday event...
'Twould be plain bad luck to land somewhere on a DIRT strip, then it RAINS - and you are STUCK there until it dries out and is opened for use again....
However, having said that, you will find that nowadays, most, not all, strips are 'all weather' - sealed, for use by RFDS aircraft.
As has been said - morning flights are best flights - before the afternoon CB's become 'something to wonder at', and best observed from the comfort of the nearest pub..... and the daily 'heat' turb ain't too uncomfortable to enjoy the ride.
Looking forward to your 'report' of how ya went..!!
