Hey you guy all right down under? You made our “Local” news last night. Not the national news, but the local news. There was a report about all the flooding on the eastern side of Australia because of all the rain. Showed pictures of flooded streets and people being rescued in boats from their homes. Just wanted to make sure you still had your Bandits and didn’t turn them into jet skis.

Yes we are fine down south off the border no floods just shitty fog, frost and drizzel, but what Ive seen of the floods on the east coast it aint doing much for the drought stricken areas as its all falling in city streets and not where its needed in the rural and catchment areas. Sad really, all that good water going to waste.

As B6 said it's mainly on the coast and in QLD, the Cane farmers aren't real happy.

Inland NSW has had rain - good soaking rain too - but right now the farmers are saying a week of sunshine would be good, followed by some more good soaking rain.

To be honest I'm enjoying the rain, it's improving my riding - having to dodge all the dickheads in Volvos going sideways around roundabouts

I've still got my head above water here in Sydney, but only just - I rode to work last week in the rain all exept one day. So I gave her a bath on Saturday and gave her a run up the Old Road, then on to Wollumbi and back again on Sunday.
But some places were pretty badly damaged, and several people killed. Most were in cars that were washed off causeways - sad but not very smart
