[morno]

Don't worry Wiz, here in the Isa and even most of the Gulf, hasn't had much the last couple of weeks either!

[the wizard of auz]

you mob in the city did this. Burning all that fossil fuel and stuff. (Must be a bugger stuffing a dinosour bone in ya tank). ya all stuffed the ozone layer and now we got no rain. bloody city folk............. and queenslanders for stealing the little bit of rain we should have got.

[Pinky the pilot]

Wiz; You could always try what some mob did in Victoria a number of years back. A group of local Women organised a rain dance....in ..er...a certain state of (un)dress!!:eek: :E :cool:
I would however, advise strongly against any group of Pilots trying such an effort. Probably frighten the bejaysus out of the wildlife.:yuk: Or the locals would die laughing!!

[sprocket]

[sprocket]

Hang in there wiz, still another couple months left for the real wet to show itself.

[Ultralights]

good to see im not the only one predicting (hoping) for a late start to the real summer, not just this luke warm period we are having..... global warming... pffft...

['aveagoodknight]

I can at least speak for Darwin and say that I've perused my home rain charts for the last ##years and if it is some comfort, our unusually dry 'wet' so far will probably balance out over the next few weeks.

Hopefully by easter we should have something that resembles the average. So far I have 757mm since Oct 1st last year and historic figures to today (18 feb) have little bearing to the whole outcome for the Wet. Look at last year for example, by today we only had 900mm but thanks to nearly 500mm in March and that tart Monica visited in April, thus we finished up with a respectable 1800mm.

So I think my nice dry nights on tarmac are about to come to an end....

:ok:

[Capt Wally]

.......the wet storns are still about up nth(somewhere), just that it pours but rarely reaches da ground................'cause sum budy lowered da earth ! :-)....shall we adjust the MSL ?....:)

Just had a quick check over of the weather, and it looks like all might be good shortly with a couple of cyclones hopefully building up and dumping some rain upon both the Top End and QLD, :ok:.

[OzExpat]

Yer gunna havta prove that to me, again, some time soon, Wiz! :E

[tealady]

We used to have an instructor by the name of Tony Beasley who could perform a very creditable rain dance after a few VB's - and it always rained after his performance. One day, he and many others from the school were at a wedding in a students backyard at Bacchus Marsh and Beasley was persuaded to do his party trick by a few invitees who were all "under the weather" anyway. Well, it rained about 30 minutes later. Beasley is, I think, originally from the territory and swears he was taught by an old bushie. It actually worked even better when his mate, Bolle' played the tube from avacuum cleaner like a didgeridoo! So come ondown out of those Adelaide hills Beasley and make us some rain!

[PLovett]

The "Bunge" in Melbourne. Last I heard of him he was on the Gold Coast.

Even that move amazed me. I didn't think anything would get him out the Top End.:uhoh:

tealady, you talk of a school. Is that a flying school because if it is he would be a fantastic instructor. He certainly taught me a few things in the short time I knew him. :}

[morno]

So how many houses are floating around in the 'Grida at the moment? :E

230mm's of rain in the 24hrs to 9am this morning!

Bring that low system down here to Western QLD please, you've had your share. :*

morno

[tinpis]

Thunk they got over 800 milligans around Jabiru ? :uhoh:

[Whitney]

Absolutely no fun out in the ****e earlier today!!!!! :sad: V E R Y glad to see DRW thru' the murky stuff.

[tealady]

"BUNGE" was living and working in Melbourne for the feds when he did his CPL and GR3 Instructors Rating at TVSA (about 1991 I think)- knocked the lot over in 9 months under the old 175 hour CPL .He was taken on fulltime 4 days after getting his Grade 3 and worked at TVSA for about 2 or 3 years. Went back up North and came back down to Bacchus Marsh and finished up leaving with a Grade 1 under his belt. Has been very sorely missed - I think he probably knocked up around 1800 odd hrs Instructing - was never going to hang around in the cold for very long. He had an operation on his back about 2 years ago - poor bugger couldn't even swing a paintbrush let alone fly, hoever, seems to be back up and around now, last saw him at Todd Vances wedding in Brisbane year before last. Heard he made a packet on real estate in Perth so he's probably living the high life in dear little old Adelaide now. If you catch up with him, pass on that there's a big party at BSS in March after the airshow.

[tinpis]

Have fun out there today boys and girls...:E Take plenty of petrol :=

Re: the previous photo, great to see that someone has placed the gentleman in the recovery position.

[Muffinman]

Worst case of bed wetting I've seen in quite a while.

[kingtoad]

I reckon he looks like he's Wallaby Ted's brudda.

[Desert Flower]

Ha - that picture gives a whole new meaning to "water bed", doesn't it?!

[the wizard of auz]

Well, it's been raining here consitantly for a week now.......... just in time for the dry to start. :}
not a lot in it, but its water from the sky....... with the odd thundery to drive around.......sorta like a wet.

[1DC]

Well i am heading back home at the end of the week after three very pleasant months in your great country.Been very dry here in the south but i am curious to know if you guys in the north finally got enough wet or are you still desperate for more??

[Victim Air]

Hey 1DC, if you spent all that time in the south, you've been at the wrong end. Gotta go, my dinghy's flaoting away. Have a safe trip. See ya.

[1DC]

Thanks Victim, i intend to spend a few weeks looking at the north next year but it won't be during the wet!!
