In the 24 hours to 4pm today we've had 195mm here just outside of
Mission Beach.
That's on top of the 50 yesterday.
All our tracks have turned to brown creeks.
The cattle have spent all day standing in the paddock not eating and our dogs stink.
What few tourists there were, are making a run for it
Yep...........the wet is here.

Been doing some calculations. (never a good idea)
Our shed is 25 by 30 metres.
At 245mm that's 183.75 cubic meters of rain.
1 cubic metere = 1000 litres
so that makes it 183.000 litres.
Is that right or is the weather affecting me?

183,750 litres sounds right :-)
Just don't tell the sourtherners that most of that flowed straight off to the rivers :-(
