Wet Wet Wet

David,

What a diverse country we live in. I lived in TVille as a kid before moving to Cairns, Hobart and now Melbourne. I well remember the big wets. Today it is going to be 40 odd in Melbourne and blowing a NW wind. It is already unpleasant and smokey outside. Seems like half the state is ablaze and the fireys will have their work cut out for them. What we wouldn't give for just half an inch of your rain today. We could well see another Ash Wednesday situation today or over the next few days as conditions continue.

Enjoy your big wet but spare a thought for your southern cousins, particularly those in the bush who are in for a long day.

Congrats Daveo, Brownsville always needs rain. ;-) Cheers Rob

Hi Ruth, always a bit of healthy competion between Brownsville and Cairns. They should realise they are industry and we are tourism. Amazing the way they have greened up down there over the last few years and their Esplanade is fantastic. Anywhere in NQ is a great place to visit. Will be down your way early April. The worlds best tourist is coming back to OZ and has chartered me for 2 months. This will be our longest tour so far. We have done 3 trips of a month each and lots of smaller ones previously. This time she really wants to do some desert and also keen to check out the South West corner of WA. Will it be too wet to do the inside track at that time. Haven't planned too much for next season as I wont be home till the end of May. I am a freelance contractor always lots of work that time of year up here.
Stay happy and well. Cheers Rob

Is this 'The World's Best Tourist' who hired you to do the trip from Cairns to Broome return about 12 months ago? I remember you sharing your itinerary with me at that time which was quite fascinating.
