It seems that I followed the rain south when I headed down to visit family on the Darling Downs.

| Our road around 7am |
Unfortunately for some locations on the eastern side of Queensland the much needed monsoonal rains from ex tropical cyclone Oswald have caused much devastation and damage. For our area however we got off rather lightly with some road blockages from flooding, power outages, lost fences and one lost dam that I know of. We here on the farm despite loosing power for 10+ hours had no damage that I know of other than a water rutted road and gained much with dams and tanks being filled to the brim. We were lucky.
