Great day in Brisbane today

The rain in South East Quensland (SEQ) has cleared and today was yet another great day in Brisbane. Needless to say, it was morning coffee outside in the winter sun—always delighful.

I attempted to record the natural sound of wildlife to accompany the image to the right, but I made the silly mistake of using my LG phone to do so—it didn’t work. Next time I’ll do the sensible thing and use my voice recorder—hopefully that will do the trick. (Natural sound recorded 13/06/08 with voice recorder—Olympus) Natural Sound A sunny day in Brisbane

As you can see by looking at my garden, the trees are looking rather thirsty. We have had severe water restrictions in the South East that have prevented us from watering our gardens. The recent rain was a nice relief.

For those wondering how the water levels in the dams in SEQ fared during the recent rain, you’ll find the information you need here.

Graphs at the SEQ Water website show the water level of Somerset Dam at approximately 89% full, Wivenhoe at approximately 24%, North Pine Dam at around 35% with the combined supply at 39-40%. It seems we still need lots more rain.
