Didn't It Rain!

The first quarter of 2011 is over.  Brisbane has had floods and the northern area of the state has experienced cyclones.  It has been an time of natural disasters for Queensland.

And the Sunshine Coast has been extremely wet as well. 

We are now at the end of the first quarter for 2011 and my unofficial rainfall figures are quite spectacular.  Our total for the year until April 1st is 1087mls.  That is in excess of 43" of rain in the old scale.  Our average amount of rain for the first quarter is usually around 586mls or a little over 23".  It must be remembered that this is the wettest time of the year in this part of the world.

The average annual rainfall is around 1600mls per annum or 64".  So we are well on the way for another extremely wet 2011.

Trish's website is now 'online' and you can access it by clicking on the link http://www.caloundraartsandcrafts.org.au/

Needless to say she is very proud of her efforts and rightly so.  It has come up very well.  Trish is now in the process of setting up email accounts to go with the various co-ordinators of the many different groups and all this is done via the website.
