71 mm in the last couple of days including quite a heavy downpour early evening last night which had the drains running red...

Very wet underfoot and still showering lightly now...frigging miserable conditions to be honest...

We were going to try and get out to chase a mackie on Wednesday or Thursday but now we are supposed to have a wwoofer couple arrive tomorrow and it probably wouldnt be a great introduction for them for boating on the GBR if they spend the day chucking up in 15 knots of slop...

Meanwhile one fella dead and another 2 rescued after a boat capsized near Batt reef up Bunyips way last night...
