Not the simplest. Need to use the paperclip, not the insert image. Then upload it.
Click on upload new File, then Add new file. Find your file, then click Upload, and wait. It's fairly quick.
I've just done one here, but I probably should have resized it beforehand.
EDIT: Resized, so shouldn't run off the screen for those of us with smaller displays.

If you took it with your phone your app may not have saved it properly (including on iphones).
With Windows you need to click to the next image after rotating & it will save automatically.

I saved your image to my laptop then rotated it to see it properly. Interesting device. Made of cloth and collapsible.

Ha ha Thanks. I'm an old woman with too much time on my hands, able to explore and figure out things.
I guess you see beautiful things like that every time you go out on the water.

I live in an interesting spot that I've enjoyed, but I really really need a change of scenery.

28, so good to see your creek getting long term flow and a few good flushes.
good shot of the crossing.


Weary I've actually seen these traps before, and yes they seem to trap quite well. Did they say if you had any dengue mozzies ?

Great pic Scott



Few slow showers yesterday turned into a nice wet arvo with some good storms.
Radar looks good for a bit more this morning.

I'll add total when the sun comes up. edit: 79mm


cheers

Good Morning Everyone.

Only 13mm this morning.

On my way to Cairns. Pump Creek at Almaden was over but not fast. The bridge over Eureka Creek west of Dimbulah was over. Fortunately the causeway a few km east was fine. Well below the road.

Looks like a few dry days now. Thankfully not scorching hot, yet. Catching up on weeks of laundry though.

Same here 28, rain has eased a lot. Starting to be a bit noticeable the lack of cyclones so far this year. It seemed a bit like that last year as well. But, as they say, it only takes one to ruin your day.

No cyclones around.
There was a brief one that went south east from just southwest of Vanuatu recently - TC Hale on 8 January.

Uugghhh. No rain for 2-3 days. 32° and insects are swarming. Tiny little gnats. Around the lights. Had to shut down the laptop. Reading phone by light in next room and hoping the don't find my phone light.

Ants are a bit of a problem here at the moment not those pesty little gnats 28. Definitely don't leave the lid off the sugar. Not much forecast for the rest of the month. The BOM forecast has been wrong before though.

I tend to use this map for forecast rainfall

Looks like we should have some out here by Friday, although that often tends to keep moving 'one day away'.

Scatted showers yesterday gave me 35mm this morning. :)

Yes ants here too MTS, and a few species not just the normal raiders.

28 have not had a bug attack here for a couple of years, seasons gone by there would be nights when
you could not use any light, but the last couple have not experienced it.


Have a nice day

Cheers

Yes Bunyip. We had a long break from insects. If we got rain, we'd get insects the next evening, for a day or two, then gone.

Now with prolonged rain & heat there were more & stuck around for longer. Not as many last night, but last rain would've been Wednesday last week.

Well there you go Bunyip, it's amazing how much rainfall those areas that are directly exposed to the southeasterlies get. We had a very nice day here yesterday. Just 0.5mm in the gauge.

YTD: 425.5mm

Yeh mate Im only 15km from bunyip and i got 14mm, Im fairly exposed to the SE rain pushing in but Im usually always a good bit behind bunyip he is right in the prime area between where he is and up to cape tribulation is as wet as anywhere in Australia.

The real question is can bunyip reel in these golden gumboot pretenders out in the desert areas by the end of the month??? He is up to 593mm and looks like he will easily surpass mareeba who are just around 603mm but can he reel in 28 If i was a betting man I would say yes he can.

Babindas offical total came in for last year at 4543mm which puts it at the top of the "offical" stations although cape trib and bellenden ker bottom station both are still waiting on the last two months of the years data which may never come. This is obviously not including bellenden ker top station which is an anomaly and not comparable to coastal stations.

Bunyip still beats out the mighty babinda for the year.

I'd agree. The rain has completely disappeared. Been about a week since last falls.
