"Happy Oz Day" To Our Aussie Friends!

Pretty typical Australia Day weekend, Queensland is in the grip of a cyclonic rain depression, complete with flooding rains, storm surges, king tides and mini-tornadoes, while further down in New South Wales and Victoria the battle against numerous bushfires continues!!
Same old same old, but we'll get through as usual.
Thanks for the thought Ed.

:australia: :unitedstates:
 
Happy Oz day to my various relatives there :australia: - also to a certain Mr A. Murray who is having a sporting day in Oz right now - hopefully a celebration ! :scotland:
 
Thanks people. Don't worry Wombat we won't be greedy, we are sending down the coast a heap of cyclonic stuff after a long dry and hot summer....it's very rough up this way at the moment
 
We can really use it Tony, the fires around Licola are almost impossible to fight!
A good solid dump of H2O would be most welcome.
Hope you're still 'feet dry'.
