Hi guys...the forecasts are chopping and changing like crazy..latest GFS run has Cairns and you guys in the north with 400mm or so....no doubt that will change each run..

I guess it will be one of those events where some places get bucketloads and others not so much...a few showers last night here which cooled the place off nicely after the horrible heat of the past months..

Today I just went and sprayed the thalia seedlings popping back up in my pond/dam that I had let get super low to be able to cut and poison all the waterweeds in there..I tried getting 2 different backpackers to cut and poison the thalias but both freaked out and gave up citing fear of spiders....up till then they had spent around 14 hours dikking around there doing the easy half ...They asked for a different job to do so I told them to leave and went and did the more difficult half in an hour and a half and didnt notice any spiders...Then I also spent some more time a couple of weeks later to recut the ones they had cut and missed painting with roundup and had started to regrow plus the ones they had stomped on and missed entirely....anyway hopefully nowit will fill back up this week and I might get some Barra fingerlings in next year.
