Lots of insects, big frogs, humidity and no daylight saving. Welcome to Qld. The first day we arrived at Crows Nest we had 10mm of rain in about 20 minutes. Sure was heavy. Discovered a leak in one of the the caravan windows – another job for John to reseal it. Crows Nest is a town of + 13,000 people although the town seems quite small to support it. Toowoomba (town of 100,000+) is 43kms away. There is a lot of birdlife here and a wide variety of butterflies which is lovely. Went for a walk around a creek yesterday and visited the local dams – very low. This area hasn’t had much rain for the last three years, they got 70mm a few weeks ago and that has been pretty much it. Amazing how green it is and this is attributed to the recent rain, prior to this is was very very dry and brown apparently. Getting lots of insect bites since crossing the border hope this doesn’t continue! the weather here has been beautiful, mid to high 20s getting down to about 16 at night. The dew point is high at about 18-20 degrees which means the ground is very wet at night and morning – must be why it so green around here. The relative humidity at 7.30am this morning was 88%! Leaving today to head 150kms NE to Glass House Mountains where we start our 2 month housesit. We are looking forward to our housesit – nice to have a base for a while.
