Can't be that big then, Oz is only an island after all 

@Hooli was incorrect we're actually a continent 🙀

I thought you were both?

I learned everything about Oz from Mad Max...

It's not a great time to be in-continent then?

When we had a lock down for covid everyone was buying bog roll and pasta by the truckload, and even after all this time I still can't find the recipe.

Ah, I see where you've gone wrong Mick.
It's not a recipe...you must have missed the influencer who said bog roll works better if you wrap it round some pasta (not the thin stuff, for obvious reasons).

Try it, your life will never be the same!

Lovely day here now .
Rained considerably and consistently during last night.
Couple of screenshots 👍

Looks like landfall now likely Friday arvo/night so a bit of respite.

It will bring a lot of rain particularly for those south of the eye (esp Gold Coast and northern NSW).


One of my wife's terminally lazy Canberra colleagues was saying what a pain the cyclone is because it's preventing her from spending the weekend at her beachside holiday house in NSW.  Self absorbed much?!

We've been stood down today & Friday not just from cyclonic winds etc. we'd run out of work in 4 days. Port was closed Sunday night and container ships advised to hold off even presenting to Port of Brisbane region.
Just shows how last minute all the freight mainly from China is.
Luckily we make toilet paper in Australia 🙏

[grog]

Sure is a long waiting game. Traffic the only good thing, like 1970s👍

[GSXKING]

Mister Squiggle makes more sense than the Bureau of Mystery 😳

[KiwiCol]

With driving like that I think it might be cyclone Alfreda

[Kiwifruit]

[grog]
