Had a look around a sugar cane farm north of Port Douglas / Mossman last October.
I could probably live with 42 degree heat, but you can keep your bloody spiders and snakes!
In 76 we had our first rain since early june on the august bank holiday and had cows in day and night on th 15 oct, grass everywhere but gateways like bogs,it can soon change

Dahh thats devils country up there - floods and sh*t...big things that bite in your dunny....
I work in Queensland and why anyone lives here is beyond me...
We have a few tiger snakes but ive found since cleaning my farm and having the bird bangers go off at start of spring..i never see one...plus im always burning when possible...
P.S. Sugar cane is not farming - its called being lazy...

Really?
Ground has never travelled so well for the time of year this past 6 months.
If it as wet ground as that then should it really be cropped at all?
1976. April to august was 154mm. September and October was 229mm.
Not sure whether to like that or not!
Similar here, light dusting of snow first thing then a couple of snow showers through the day.
Windy though and 3C.

Gale force winds, sleet, hail, snow, rain but in the end barely damped the concrete

Febuary was very wet the rest of year has been the opposite
I knew that I couldn't live in Oz when I read about a 'tradie' working on a building site, who had been bitten by a redback while using a portaloo. And then bitten again on the same place 5 months later...
“Going back 80 years or so when people were still using outhouse toilets it was extremely common, something like up to 80 per cent of cases of spider bites were bites on the male genitalia”
Hence why it was such a bumper year in Scotland.
Here, April to August was 114mm, September and October was 480mm.
(And the first half of September was completely dry.)
