This is just absolute madness guys...the blob is still just sitting there right over Cairns..must be mind blowing for a lot of cairns residents and unfortunately probably will overshadow the help thats needed further north from the actual cyclone..

Thankfully the stuff to the south looks to be moving out to sea..we have only had fairy pee for the past few hours..

I even just went up for a dip at the swimming hole..the cascades are thunderous but the water is pretty clear and nice ...the dogs werent game to get in though..looks like lots of sticks and debris for them to chew up and chase in coming days.....my gravity feed pipes appear to have not been washed away at the intake as I switch back off the emergency tank there is water flow..the first 10 minutes was pretty foul water thats been sitting in the pipes for a few days....I was certainly not looking forward to almost a kilometer long hike up into the gorge to restart the flow into the 2 inch mainline....its a really difficult thing to do on my own..last time was not long after Cyclone Yasi so I have been very fortunate considering I basically just have intake just tied to an underwater rock.

and Myola is at 469mm since 9am..which makes 982mm in the past 32 hours... ..and all thats headed to Cairns...

edit..just went over the metre mark in 34 hrs and about to reach 2x 500mm days in a row..
