Glorious Winter Weather

Yet another sunny and dry day. It is about 18 degrees (67) by 9 am and then eventually finds its way to the low 20's by early afternoon. This is the sort of weather that caravanners from the southern states visit Queensland for in winter. This is the busy season for caravan parks across Queensland. It is quite dry though, we have only had a few mls of rain for all of July. You can see the figures here, click on the quarter you want to see by clicking on Q1, Q2 etc at the foot of the page.

There is a move to develop the land to the south of us to accommodate the booming population of South-East Queensland. The plan is to house a further 50,000 people here at Caloundra South over the next 30 years or so. There is opposition to this to ensure there is a wide green barrier separating the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane's northern suburbs.

Currently we are almost 100k's north of Brisbane. The 'green' barrier can be seen in this picture, the yellow arrow points to our home. Over the 'back' you can see the Unity College oval and school buildings. The area beyond that is earmarked for the new development. If you click on the picture you will get a larger view.

Another brew went on this morning and as you can see I have put some lemon in it again. It tastes extremely refreshing. It will be ready to enjoy in about 4 weeks time.

The laptop ordered from Dell should be delivered either this Friday or Monday of next week. This PC goes in for tidy up on Monday for three days to try to discover the cause of the strange shadowy screen I had last week. (See here for the picture, and then click on Back to return to this page.) The main PC continues to operate very well after the scare I had over the weekend.

Trish attended Gym again this morning while Tony and I had an 11k bike ride.
