A beautiful Saturday morning here, a bit of blue sky and a nice breeze. 4mm overnight just enough to keep the yard sloppy though.

The GFS has an almost continuous SE flow and no lows around until the end of April so it could be the end of the monsoon season.

Not boring at all Scott. The history of the far north is very interesting, especially in mining. Cooktown would have been an exciting place in the 1870's with the Palmer River gold rush. Around 65 pubs, lots of businesses and the second largest town in Qld at the time. You wouldn't know it now.

Edit: My grandfather was a tin miner from Mt Garnet and he always said he wanted to chase gold in the Palmer River. He never did but he did lend me the book "River of gold" which showed that the gold rush wasn't just exciting but a very dangerous place.
