Must be Easter...The Rain is Here :-(

Hahaha, it happens every year I swear. It's too much of a coincidence by now.

I think it's some sort of plot to ensure everyone has a childhood memory of a miserable, cold and wet camping experience. I know I do.

HEY FRED........bugga off with that R word.

hahhahahahahaha.

If my memory serves me write it has rained every easter for the last 14 years !! Regards Steve

Of course its raining, I washed the car on Sunday for the first time since December....LOL

Steve

I swear the last two times I've pulled the tent out it has rained the whole time (pulling the tent down in HEAVY rain with help from an 8yr old only is NOT fun). We are off to Swan Hill this time.

I have a theory - we bought one of those fold up clotheslines....both times we have taken it, it has bucketed down and it has been useless....if I take it this time and it rains in Swan Hill - I'll be giving it away, clearly its jinxed!

Please keep it in NSW Fred.

After 3 months hard work we have just managed to break thru and drive all of our tracks after wind storm and flash flood damage , and we hope to sit back and do nothing over easter as per Exploroz vic camping trip and we really don't need any rain to put out the campfire.

Hi All

The Cook and I are spending Easter at home, looks like some wet weather is on the way, so we have arranged for the family to visit us, and we will stay off the roads, Bbq's / Cobb Cooking Dampers ect,and a few quite Ales, might even wander over to the dam and get a few Yabbies, and down to the Tallebudgera Crk for some Mangrove Jack and some Muddies.

Cheers

Hi Fred
Good news for the areas that need it. As for the Easter weather here in SA, it is going to be a perfect 31 with possible rain Easter Monday.

Cheers

Stephen

Yes it is raining on the South Coast.

My waterproof jacket and boots are both wet through after I got caught in heavy rain on my bushwalk this morning.

Glorious, cool day - I love it. As will the local camping place, cafes and shops who are open over Easter - they are extra busy if the weather isnt so good for the beach!

Regards,

Heather

Not just the East Coast either Fred G ....

Your bush camp, water tank should have about 12hrs topping up so far .....

Hey Fred,
There was only a spit of rain.
Mark G will put a thread in the next day or so.
Great company, Great weather.
Hope yours was as action packed as ours.
