Cairns just continues to deliver SM..

Thats interesting weary that really both stations are in pretty close proximity with no geographical features nearby to explain often an inch or more difference one way or another...must just be the hit or miss nature of the localised showers...the radar currently has them moving pretty quickly from the East and Sou' east..

Bunyip one of the many charms of FNQ when i first came up here 35 years back was the provincial backward nature of many of the residents and local customs and more relaxed lifestyle..

Its changed a lot since then and I'm not sure how much for the better..now its lots more speculative development, out of towners moving up for a quick buck after cyclones and during growth booms or to semi-retire and take on some lawn mowing or handyman work or a small cafe/ fish and chip shop and the usual city dreamers yearning for their piece of a tropical Bali-like holiday lifestyle or retirement whilst bringing annoying city hangups.... .thankfully wet seasons like this one come along occasionally and thin out those fair-weather types or give them a serious reality check and make them wonder what the hell they were thinking....

it was the best day ever when that Mayfair 101 guy James Mahwhinney went bust...fancy wanting to turn Mission beach into a Superyacht hub and 1.6 Billion dollar tourist town and buying up more then 200 local properties to redevelop.. 4-5 months of wet season and then the same of 15-20 knot Sou easters meant it would have been a bust anyway..but it sure would have destroyed the village atmosphere....we would have sold up and moved for sure..
