Thursday 12th March – Tropical Rain Stops Play
Woke up to heavy tropical rain. Temperature still in the 80s but grey skies, continuous rain and gusty winds all day.
Drove up to Yeppoon for supplies past beautiful (if soggy) bays containing palm fringed sandy beaches but the sea is choppy, brown and turbid with run-off. It will take some time to clear so no chance of seeing anything at the Great Barrier Reef which tantalisingly lies only a few miles offshore.
Time to finalise planning for Bali and Hong Kong. This is the first day since Fiji that we have been completely defeated by the weather. Decided to stay the night and decide tomorrow what to do.

I can't believe Mum's rain magnetism has grown strong enough to cange the course of a cyclone!
ReplyDeleteI've 2 days off for my birthday and have so far puttied over a load of cracks and put some new mortar on an outside wall...being a grown up is boring so I've also had a couple of hang-overs which have hampered progress somewhat!
