Just an observation from the ACCESS g surface synoptic.
Mid latitude high pressure cells centred very low(southward) this week. No idea how long that’s been going on or for how long it will go on.

However ACCESS g showing some heavy falls over inland parts of Qld on Friday,Christmas Day from a tropical dip in isobars troughing
