Yeah, the weekly note made mention that the MJO over the tropical Americas and Africa will move east in the coming fortnight, with below-average rainfall expected across much of N.W. Australia and the N.T. during the first half of March. I suppose that will then move across to N.Q. as well.

OK by me as, I want to have another go at the singapore daisy.
My last effort go a fair bit of it, but it never got 6 hours before it rained. My mate across the road gave me a small coke bottle of some good, strong stuff to bowl it over good and proper. He's got a poisons licence and can get stuff not available the general public.

I've filled the 5 litre pressure sprayer, and pretty sure I'll have a win with this stuff. Winds dropped too, so the poison won't drift over stuff I don't want obliterated.

Thanks for everyone's updates. It was all a non-event for us.

I think it's now The Dry Season in Chillagoe.

Niran seems to be moving fairly fast. Hopefully Noumea didn't cop it too badly.

Right now we're getting a little bit of rain from the storms to the east. Just at the very edge, as usual.

Refreshed everything very nicely, although it was only warm, not hot today. My food patch will be very happy.

Edit 7pm: Might've ended up with about 10mm after all. Still a bit damp to go check.

Great photo Ron.
What caused the damage? Fires?

We managed 47mm last night, and another 6mm around midday today.

This tree would be nearly 300mm where it snapped. It is still on my neighbours fence as I had the day off today needed a break. Trying to chop up a black wattle yesterday and I think my chainsaw needed a break too lol.
