Absolutely disgusting conditions down here on the island. Not much better back in the western suburbs earlier this morning either. Pathetic System!
Going to be a very depressing couple of months coming up unfortunately. Sprinklers, hoses & watering cans are armed & ready.
Absolutely disgusting conditions down here on the island. About as bad as it can get.
If I'm brave enough I might go for a stroll & check out the tide, Only thing is our beach is north facing so not expecting anything unusual to occur damage wise.
