About time shift camp or you may have hundreds of small people aroung your rig very soon.shonky wrote:Hi, all.
Maroochydore State School only has eight vehicles still camped on the lawn. Stories abound of 5th wheelers and heavy buses being bogged down in past years, as the grounds are mainly flat with comparatively little run off. To make matters worse there's only one sheltered concrete pad, normally reserved for chapter head's brand new Sunliners and the like. On the bright side, the pad holds our Talvor and the BT rather well.
The nice weatherman just mentioned that northern NSW are copping it next, and that parts of Bundaberg are being evacuated at present.
See you on the back roads,
shonky et al.

Same here Terry hardly enough to register in the rain gaugeT1 Terry wrote:It started to rain here last night some time, got woken up to go and close the roof vent on the Mazda because the batteries are disconnected so it didn't do it on it's own. There wasn't enough rain to wet the drop sheet over the bedthere still isn't enough rain falling to keep the road wet, just clouds so the solar struggles, same as it has been for a while now, no useful rain.
Funny thing is, the lawns and nature strips are brown and dead with a few little strips of green near anything concrete, the grass growing in the cracks in the roadway is green though
There is a wind generator out on a hill from here it is has stopped dead still with the blades facing north, to-day there was supposed to be a 90% chance of rain, Maybe to-morrow,

Re: Time for us to start praying for rain
