What is it about cairns and all these storms this year...?

We look like getting some and then they just go always go away without any measurable rain..I'm still watering all the potted plants several times a day and nights with random sprinklers to stopt the lawn from dying off and newer garden beds from collapsing...

yeah SM the old overland flow from neighboring properties is a real PITA isnt it...My folks old home in NSW had the same problem and all the storm runoff water and sandy soils would fill up there shed....even when they tried blocking it like you have the bed of crusherdust/gravel would wash out and it would find a way through/under....if that doesnt work you could maybe make a level concrete footing to lay those plinths on...

I just about died trying to do outside work over the weekend in 1000 degree temps..I was quite surprised how long I needed to lay on my back in the shade to get my beans back to be able to have another crack at it...no fun getting old..!

Too hot to go out fishing so think I'm going to take the next couple of days to play around at the range this week..My new toy arrived and i need to sight it in and have some fun..
