Hi everyone,

A low pressure trough slowly moved eastwards over Victoria on Sunday and as a result some areas experienced thunderstorms, some severe, and squalls. I was positioned close to home in the Yarra Valley and decided to photograph structure on this day, as opposed to chasing. I did however pursue a cell that was showing signs of being quite organised and started to develop a wall cloud. This occurred between Coldstream and Gruyere and I followed the cell before it disappeared from view towards Healesville. Although the cell started to develop a weak inflow band (see image taken looking north, band visible on NW flank) I suspect it failed to develop further but I am yet to analyse radar loops. The image is here.

I have processed a few images form the day, linked below, many more to assess and I have video to look at as well. I will post links to further images and footage if I think it’s worthy, cheers and thanks.

Nice pictures David. It looks as though it was a huge storm.

Do you know if Ballarat got any rain out of it as well?

Hi David.

Was wating radar EXPLODE late last night, was an awesome looking storm/s that impacted the Melb area... 88mm in 3 hours at the Viewbank/Bullen AWS is awesome. I have also read reports of over 100mm falling in other parts in those same few hours! Quite an amazing nocturnal storm!

I live in Frankston and watched nearly 3 strikes every second for about an hour from 11 last night, and being an amature everything I got a photo of lightning, perfect storm for anyone to get a photo. The activity didnt stall until 1.30 when the first lot passed around me (i think) and it all slowed down and didnt do alot but at 3 there was more lightning coming up and it was awesome. I was dead tired and (cant believe it) slept through what woke my housemates up. bugger. I cant wait for your reports on it all, photos, weatherzone captures etc, it was so awesome. Anyway, enthusiasm aside I have a couple of things for you that you may have seen. On the second floor of my house I had a view of the whole sky and storms approaching...what does it mean when the lightning travels up? what are the things that flare at the top called like a lightning tornado shooting up from the clouds (kind of)? did you guys ever discover why we get green, orange or purple lightning? is it because of the heat of the strike? does the lightning cause the hail, type, frequency? or is it something else that contributes to its size? ok well thanks for listening and you dont have to answer ill read it in your posts etc. and on your sites. your all great, thank you and im taping ACA. : ) Catherine & Belle in Frankston _________________________________________________________________ Get less junk mail with ninemsn Premium.

The Melbourne storm was covered on NZ TV news this evening. A "once in a lifetime storm" dumped 150mm

in two hours over Melbourne's E and N suburbs. Saw footage of cars in water and flooded homes and lightning.

Hi Paul :-)

It is a common belief that lightning decends from cloud to ground first, however this is not so and is in fact, the reverse.

Slow motion video shows a very faint leader ascending from the ground pole what ever that may be, including human, and the return stroke follows more or less the same path, back and forward many times and we call that the "lightning flash" and that is what we observe. The intial stroke upwards is very faint and is masked by the bright return flash. Only a video cam shows this phenomina in detail because the sequence is so quick that the human eye cannot detect it. It is also one reason that being in the open during a thunderstorm is a bad idea because one (you) could become the intial electrical pole and conducts the charge upwards. Anyone who has experience a phenominum such as "St.Elmos Fire"knows this effect well.

Hoping this helps you

Re people being lightning conductors.

I have flat straight hair and on a number of occasions near a storm my hair has risen. strands of hair stand up. that makes

you realise the scale of the electric field near a thunderstorm.

Hi David.

Was wating radar EXPLODE late last night, was an awesome looking storm/s that impacted the Melb area... 88mm in 3 hours at the Viewbank/Bullen AWS is awesome. I have also read reports of over 100mm falling in other parts in those same few hours! Quite an amazing nocturnal storm!

For anyone interested (and increibly bored!) I have the A Current Affair crew with me today and the interview goes to air tonight. Also a radio interview on 774 ABC Radio here in Melbourne around 1.45 p.m. Focusing on past 24 hours + footage etc. By the way, have had incredible weather here as everyone would know by now, will compile reports (eventually) and post a link here.

Quite an amazing nocturnal storm! > > Simon > www.canberra-wx.com I was right in the middle of the most intense rain (at Heidelberg). I don't have a gauge myself (nowhere to put it), but several other gauges within 5km, in all directions, were in the 100-110mm range so I think it reasonable to assume that Heidelberg topped 100 too. (I have also been reminded by my colleagues that it is apparently a long-standing tradition in the Climate Analysis Section that anyone who gets 100mm has to buy the rest of the section a drink :-) The damage in Heidelberg was less extensive than in Fairfield and Northcote, probably because it's a hillier suburb which assists with drainage. I thought my own place (which is quite elevated) had got out unscathed, but got home last night to discover that some moisture had penetrated the walls and shorted out an electrical circuit, nothing too serious compared with a lot of others. The bowling club at the bottom of the gully 100m away has all its greens 5-10cm deep in mud. There were media reports yesterday of a bowling club suffering $2 million damage, but they didn't say where - not impossible it could be this one (for a damage bill of that size, presumably the walls would have had to have suffered structural damage severe enough for the building to have to be demolished). I didn't see evidence of such severe damage but then I didn't get that close. The heavy rain was almost continuous from just before midnight until about 1.50 a.m., with several separate waves of hail mixed in with the rain. Not much wind by the standards of severe thunderstorms. Those of you who are on Weatherzone will have seen this already, but if you took a reading yourself, especially if it's 50mm+, we'd appreciate it if you could send me details so we can use it to help in the post-event analysis (we'll need a location as well - Melway reference probably best).

The Melbourne storm was covered on NZ TV news this evening. A "once in a lifetime storm" dumped 150mm

in two hours over Melbourne's E and N suburbs. Saw footage of cars in water and flooded homes and lightning.

Steven,

If you find your hair standing up near a thunderstorm, you are in imminent danger of being struck by lightning. An electric field strong enough to do this is not very far from breakdown.

John.

Re people being lightning conductors.

I have flat straight hair and on a number of occasions near a storm my hair has risen. strands of hair stand up. that makes

you realise the scale of the electric field near a thunderstorm.

Hi Paul :-)

It is a common belief that lightning decends from cloud to ground first, however this is not so and is in fact, the reverse.

Slow motion video shows a very faint leader ascending from the ground pole what ever that may be, including human, and the return stroke follows more or less the same path, back and forward many times and we call that the "lightning flash" and that is what we observe. The intial stroke upwards is very faint and is masked by the bright return flash. Only a video cam shows this phenomina in detail because the sequence is so quick that the human eye cannot detect it. It is also one reason that being in the open during a thunderstorm is a bad idea because one (you) could become the intial electrical pole and conducts the charge upwards. Anyone who has experience a phenominum such as "St.Elmos Fire"knows this effect well.

Hoping this helps you

To my knowledge no one has been killed by lightning in NZ although you get the occasional story of people

being struck and surviving. The most common injury is to the eyes. There was even a case here in Auckland

last year of a guy holding up his shirt with a big hole in the back of it from lightning strike. The most recent

lightning strike in NZ was to a boy riding a bike a couple of months back and he needed a couple of days in hospital

Hi Steven,

Well as a storn chaser you can be totally blase about this, most of us are or we would not get the awesome lightning photo's that have appeared in this forum recently!

The chances of being struck directly by lightning are always remote, you just have to be part of the best conductive path to ground at the instant of discharge. Having said that, most people are not killed by a direct strike, but by a close strike where they are electrocuted either by induction in the body (due to the intensity of instantaneous radio frequency components), or by current flow in the body due to instantaneous field strength between the legs, the latter being the manner in which sheep or cattle in a paddock are electrocuted en-mass by a nearby ground strike.

Many people with superficial burns to clothing, etc., who have survived, are showing the results of a close call from minor secondary arcing. But there may be some extenuating circumstances, where for example, if you are soaked to the skin, the discharge "might" pass over the body rather than through it. But this is really conjecture and has not been proven. More likely, such cases are the result of close calls. You still get one hell of an electric shock and would think for all money, that you had been directly struck.

The sheer amount of current and instantaneous voltage change in a strike bring about these circumstances. In short, it is not a risk to be taken lightly. An electric breakdown which has just chanelled through 10 kilometres or so of free air, which has a dielectric breakdown strength of about 30,000 Volts/cm, is not going to worry too much about 1cm or so insulation in one's shoes. The only good thing about it, is you probably would not know what had hit you, as you are instantly fried or blown apart. Consider this: The average lightning strike consists of several hundred thousand amperes of electric current. Your heart can be stopped by just 10 thousandths of an amp.

People are killed by lightning in Oz every year. Most recently close to me, a gent working on the roof of a steel frame for a new house in Ipswich SEQ was killed last summer, but the lightning hit the structure, not him directly. He died from heart failure due to shock as he was blown off it. He was in fact extremely unlucky, the strke was a direct anvil to ground discharge about 10kms ahead of the storm core (based on radar archive), which you rarely see. Had he been a storm chaser, he would have thought himself pretty safe listening to the still somewhat distant and far overhead rumbles... But was his hair standing on end just beforehand I wonder????

John.

I have some comprehensive reports and a lot of images and video to publish on this week’s events in Melbourne, but thought I would pre-empt that with some images of the hail damage done to a car dealership in Lilydale, which adjoins my suburb of Chirnside Park.

The first image is a radar still from the storm. I had the BOM on the phone at the time confirming what I was witnessing, that this little beast had been running parallel to my position & suddenly took a left turn over Lilydale directly towards me. I have looped the hour’s radar which will be included in the final report. The cell’s intensity was for only a brief period, I was able to capture on video it’s lifecycle from Tullamarine to Wandin, which is east of Lilydale.

The gent that was hit by the direct anvil ground strike would have been considered to be hid by the provevial bolt from the blue .

Hi Steven,

Well as a storn chaser you can be totally blase about this, most of us are or we would not get the awesome lightning photo's that have appeared in this forum recently!

The chances of being struck directly by lightning are always remote, you just have to be part of the best conductive path to ground at the instant of discharge. Having said that, most people are not killed by a direct strike, but by a close strike where they are electrocuted either by induction in the body (due to the intensity of instantaneous radio frequency components), or by current flow in the body due to instantaneous field strength between the legs, the latter being the manner in which sheep or cattle in a paddock are electrocuted en-mass by a nearby ground strike.

Many people with superficial burns to clothing, etc., who have survived, are showing the results of a close call from minor secondary arcing. But there may be some extenuating circumstances, where for example, if you are soaked to the skin, the discharge "might" pass over the body rather than through it. But this is really conjecture and has not been proven. More likely, such cases are the result of close calls. You still get one hell of an electric shock and would think for all money, that you had been directly struck.

The sheer amount of current and instantaneous voltage change in a strike bring about these circumstances. In short, it is not a risk to be taken lightly. An electric breakdown which has just chanelled through 10 kilometres or so of free air, which has a dielectric breakdown strength of about 30,000 Volts/cm, is not going to worry too much about 1cm or so insulation in one's shoes. The only good thing about it, is you probably would not know what had hit you, as you are instantly fried or blown apart. Consider this: The average lightning strike consists of several hundred thousand amperes of electric current. Your heart can be stopped by just 10 thousandths of an amp.

People are killed by lightning in Oz every year. Most recently close to me, a gent working on the roof of a steel frame for a new house in Ipswich SEQ was killed last summer, but the lightning hit the structure, not him directly. He died from heart failure due to shock as he was blown off it. He was in fact extremely unlucky, the strke was a direct anvil to ground discharge about 10kms ahead of the storm core (based on radar archive), which you rarely see. Had he been a storm chaser, he would have thought himself pretty safe listening to the still somewhat distant and far overhead rumbles... But was his hair standing on end just beforehand I wonder????

John.

Have many people been killed by lightning in Australia?

In other parts of the world people do get killed.

To my knowledge no one has been killed by lightning in NZ although you get the occasional story of people

being struck and surviving. The most common injury is to the eyes. There was even a case here in Auckland

last year of a guy holding up his shirt with a big hole in the back of it from lightning strike. The most recent

lightning strike in NZ was to a boy riding a bike a couple of months back and he needed a couple of days in hospital

to recover.

Wow. There's some pretty decent yonnies in there that's for sure. Remember back in the early 80's of a similar storm in Benalla that damaged all the cars as well. They ended up having a hail sale and sold the cars as they were.

I have some comprehensive reports and a lot of images and video to publish on this week’s events in Melbourne, but thought I would pre-empt that with some images of the hail damage done to a car dealership in Lilydale, which adjoins my suburb of Chirnside Park.

The first image is a radar still from the storm. I had the BOM on the phone at the time confirming what I was witnessing, that this little beast had been running parallel to my position & suddenly took a left turn over Lilydale directly towards me. I have looped the hour’s radar which will be included in the final report. The cell’s intensity was for only a brief period, I was able to capture on video it’s lifecycle from Tullamarine to Wandin, which is east of Lilydale.

Hi Bussy, yes that’s what’s happening now in Lilydale, car yards are advertising ‘Hail sales’. I will have large set of images and video up and ready by the end of the day for the Dec 2^nd events.

Most of my report for this stunning event is complete. Grab a cuppa before you start, there’s a lot of video and several images! Still to be added are further obs and overview, plus a downloadable copy of the Current Affair interview. Over the next couple of weeks I will also post links to the Dec 3^rd & 4^th reports yet to be completed, as I chased on those days as well.

Many thanks.

The first strike I was affected by, at Dumbalk in 1969, was indeed a close near-miss rather than an actual strike. The main bolt of the lightning hit a Ford engine block which was lying on the ground twelve feet from where I was standing. There was indeed a lot of secondary arcing which spread out across the ground in several directions like a fiery "lacework" (for want of a better word) which connected with and presumably through the toes of the steel-toed work boots I was wearing. I and all of the men standing with me were immediately hit in the chest by a powerful shock wave, similar to that made by an exploding bomb (but a lot of you young blokes won't have felt that). The blow to the front of my body was similar to having a full sized footballer run full-tilt into you on the footy field. We were knocked to the ground and knocked a considerable distance backwards. Several of us noticed that the secondary arcing continued on the ground around the point of the strike for a considerable time after the main bolt of lightning had finished - maybe two or three additional seconds. I have never figured out, scientifically speaking, why that should have happened. On the second occasion witnesses in the car which was following me along the Princes Highway watched as the lightning went to ground through my saturated clothing. I was riding a motorbike and sidecar and was wearing Belstaff oilskin waterproof clothing with army surplus heavy cotton or wool clothing over the top of the waterproofs for extra warmth. The outer layer was absolutely saturated through from the rain before I was struck. I was not aware at first that it was lightning. I was only aware that my bike's engine had gone silent and I was completely blinded and in quite some considerable pain. I braked hard and brought the bike to a halt without hitting anything and just sat there unable to see a thing. I also felt severely "jangled" from head to toe similar to the feeling after a severe electrical shock, although I still had not realised that I had been hit by lightning. I was scared out of my wits, to be honest: why was I blind, why had my bike stopped? I heard a car pull up and the driver said, "Are you still alive, mate?" He went on to say that he had seen the lightning hit me directly, straight into the top of my helmet, and that my whole body had lit up as bright as the lightning itself. As my sight gradually returned I was able to fix my motorbike and continue on my way, but my face was badly burned similarly to a severe sunburn. On that occasion there was no shockwave that knocked me over ... presumably this shockwave went outwards in all directions from me in the centre. I also did not hear the initial thunder although the driver of the following car described it as like a deafening explosion. I did hear the more distant part of the thunder. I think the latter example illustrates your suggestion in your third paragraph about lightning going to ground through saturated clothing, while the former illustrates the near strike with contact by secondary arcing. I have no desire to be that close to a lighning strike ever again, but I still love to watch a good thunderstorm...

I have some comprehensive reports and a lot of images and video to publish on this week’s events in Melbourne, but thought I would pre-empt that with some images of the hail damage done to a car dealership in Lilydale, which adjoins my suburb of Chirnside Park.

The first image is a radar still from the storm. I had the BOM on the phone at the time confirming what I was witnessing, that this little beast had been running parallel to my position & suddenly took a left turn over Lilydale directly towards me. I have looped the hour’s radar which will be included in the final report. The cell’s intensity was for only a brief period, I was able to capture on video it’s lifecycle from Tullamarine to Wandin, which is east of Lilydale.

Quite clearly the charge was conducted over the wet outside of your body, and quite probably arc'd over clothing, the wet clothing acting like a faraday cage. The sunburn effect has been noted from close strikes and people exposed to ball lightning, which is presumably the result of exposure to intense UV light. Others also have noted the lack of sound on very close strikes, particularly when the point of contact is directly overhead. A theory is that at this point the sound waves are travelling faster than the speed of sound and hence inaudible. But, you would think that instant ear drum rupture would still be result however... So more likely it is a case of being either effectively inside the source or at vertically 90deg to the direction of travel of the sound waves. I have experienced a very close intense strike in heavy rain that just sounded like Phhht. With regard to the after arcing on your first experience, I would advance a hypothesis that is similar to the cause of anvil crawlers in thunderclouds. What happens is that the in an insulated environment containing highly charged particles (i.e., the thundercloud), a breakdown in one location causes the charge level to dramatically change at that point (the voltage in a lightning strike reduces from perhaps hundreds of millions of volts just prior to breakdown, to about 3 volts across the conducting path, which at that instant brings the electrostatic potential at both ends of the conducting channel to virtually the same level). As a result of the initial discharge, high potential differences are then created in the immediate proximity to the end of the original discharge. This immediately leads to secondary breakdowns spreading out from the source, which themselves then cause a further flow on effect, etc.. In many cases, this brings enough charge back to the original point of discharge to cause a further strike along the weakened original channel. Hence multiple discharges! And also the spectacular crawling effects observed across large anvils. In the case of lightning hitting a metal object on poorly conducting ground (concrete for example), I could envisage similar effects happening as the enormous point charge delivered by the lightning strike is then redistributed locally and equilibrium reestablished in the area. This would not be observed on a well conducting surface. All such phenomena can be observed safely and in microcosm in electrostatic discharges in clothes removed in total darkness at night in very dry air. Playing with such articles yields a good understanding of charge redistribution.

Hi Dennis, well I never really thought about it to be honest. I would have thought it would be reasonably accurate. The Weatherzone radar had the topographical overlay with major roads, etc, which can help with accuracy, I assume that feature is still available.

Question - How accurate do you think the placement of Lilydale and F/T Gully is on the BOM radar map ?

Subject: aus-wx: Lilydale (Vic) Hail Damage Photos 2/12/03

I have some comprehensive reports and a lot of images and video to publish on this week’s events in Melbourne, but thought I would pre-empt that with some images of the hail damage done to a car dealership in Lilydale, which adjoins my suburb of Chirnside Park.

The first image is a radar still from the storm. I had the BOM on the phone at the time confirming what I was witnessing, that this little beast had been running parallel to my position & suddenly took a left turn over Lilydale directly towards me. I have looped the hour’s radar which will be included in the final report. The cell’s intensity was for only a brief period, I was able to capture on video it’s lifecycle from Tullamarine to Wandin, which is east of Lilydale.

I have just uploaded 3D radar images, courtesy of BOM NSW, of the 0550UTC PPI scan and a corresponding cross-section (RHI scan) which illustrates the 3-dimensionality of the Urana (NSW) supercell I chased on Oct 15th. The RHI scan clearly shows a bounded weak echo region.

The two images are posted in the report for that chase, which is located here.

Cheers

I have no idea what it is like for other places, but I find it amusing to be getting zapped on the tracker when the storm passed 2 hours ago, or having nothing showing in the middle of an amazing thunderstorm!!! I find the Country Energy storm tracker much for accurate for NSW, but still use the weatherzone lightning tracker to see what is going on in the big picture. I usually use it set to Victoria as it has a better scale. It's all good!!!

Pretty stormy here as well (Kings Langley), in fact all over Sydney, with frequent thunder and lightning. I would say that since 5am there has not been more than 10 or 15 minutes without any and it is still going. 15mm of rain approx.

This storm was certainly one of the most violent microburst conditions I have been in 150km/h or so. The amount of trees down in such a small distance forced me for the first time on a chase to travel on the side of the road - roads were blocked in a few places by large trees. 50km later I did get ahead:) stills include storm with dense rain curtain and microburst, lightning, damage of trees downed http://www.australiasevereweather.com/video/stills/2003/1121jd072.jpg http://www.australiasevereweather.com/video/stills/2003/1121jd088.jpg http://www.australiasevereweather.com/video/stills/2003/1121jd098.jpg http://www.australiasevereweather.com/video/stills/2003/1121jd106.jpg http://www.australiasevereweather.com/video/stills/2003/1121jd116.jpg http://www.australiasevereweather.com/video/stills/2003/1121jd133.jpg http://www.australiasevereweather.com/video/stills/2003/1121jd162.jpg pretty heavy rain despite wipers as fast as they could go The first southern storm showed hail structure and was the long lived supercell from the Griffith Narrandera area that was smashed by hailstones.

In lieu of putting up a report, here are a few images taken recently across Victoria.

This first one was taken on Thursday Dec 18^th as a low pressure trough moved slowly eastwards over Melbourne a line of storms was preceded by a gust front, which I captured from Melbourne’s outer east.:

http://www.stormplanet.com/181203_pan2.jpg

On December 20^th & 21^st a few of us (myself, Andrew McDonald & Chris G) travelled over 1380kms on a route through (Day 1) Melb-Seymour-Bendigo-Ouyen-Mildura & (Day 2) Ouyen-Hopetoun-Dimboola-Horsham-Stawell-Ballarat-Melb. Saturday was disappointing & we stayed in Mildura overnight and dined with some of the SA chasers but on Sunday we finally hit pay-dirt with a brief (we had to flee very quickly) encounter with a storm producing substantial inflow winds, a nice green core (shows up well in the images) & a developing gust front NW of Horsham.

http://www.stormplanet.com/211203_2.jpg

Further down the road we witnessed and filmed extensive flash-flooding in Stawell. Stawell AWS had recorded 27.8mm from the storm in about 20mins and they had just had a private gauge report from someone in Stawell who recorded 41mm in 20 mins. The flooded roads and private properties were astounding and we managed to capture some terrific images and video footage.

We caught up with more of the deluge near Ballarat creating almost white-out conditions on the highway. We’ll put up some kind of a report soon with some video.

Hi all, Just south of Inverleigh (approx 20 km west of Geelong) on Sunday 21^st around 6pm (exact time to be calculated from radar) there was severe wind damage to farm buildings during the thunderstorms which passed through NW-SE with a frontal system. Pressure dropped to 994hPa (at Belmont, 991hPa by 8pm) and a narrow damage path 30m wide for 1km has been traced. Impressive damage includes: cypress trunks 30cm wide snapped, steel girders 150mm thick bent, concrete blocks 1metre deep by 450cms were uprooted and blown up to 10m away. Small sheds were blown up to 50m away and a 1-tonne trailer was ripped away from a tractor and deposited 10m away. I have photos of all this damage and you’ll be able to see them at my website shortly, I hope. The debris was spread over approx 500m and some was found 50m into the direction of the storm path. Unfortunately there are no eye-witnesses, but locals can confirm the storm noise, dark sky and wind shear as seen by cloud movements. The damage is consistent with that of a brief F2 tornado, and I have estimated the gusts at around 200-250kph. The local “Geelong Advertiser” has called it a “freak twister”. I don’t know about the twister part just yet, but it was certainly no freak for this district. In the last 3 years we have had at least 6 funnels including two touchdown tornadoes, as well as 3 waterspouts and a lot of other straight wind damage.

Happy Christmas to everyone.

interesting to note the upper cloud extending into northern sa is

associated with the high level outflow from the low over ne wa

initiating as a jet over sa and heading east over northern nsw\southern queensland,

also of interest is the prog. that even with moderate to high pwat levels over

the south east quadrant of sa on mon\tues little or no rainfall has been predicted

for the last couple of days, this may change as things get closer but it looks like

all the moisture will be in the upper levels at this stage with plenty of 'promising cloud'

and little to show for it. maybe some high based dry electrical, and if we're lucky, a

severe virga alert.

This is my second ever mail, as being such a novice I dare not contribute anything yet.

But I read all your mails, and one of you has a web page link to a cornucopia of physical constants and mathematical equations, periodic tables of the elements etc. As I recall it was a dark green background page with masses of links. Foolishly I did not copy this reference, and so it is buried on one of the three hard disks that I have pensioned off.

So please forward me/us any such favourite links, or refer me back to that original web address. Others in this group might value such references. Weather makes one try to understand the phenomena at a deeper, physical level.

Finally those of you who are mathematics teachers and the like - please refer me to web-based or CD-ROM based courses in calculus and differential equations. I wish to revise and to complete these areas, and do not have the time or opportunity to enrol in conventional courses.

Thank you for considering,

Greetings all, some more media to announce in case someone is interested, this time with Melbourne's Sunday Herald Sun. I have just completed another interview with them, quite a long one this time, so hopefully if the journo translates well it should be an OK read! The piece should focus on stormchasing, safety & severe weather photography etc. The article should appear tomorrow (28/12/03) but if it's held back I'll post a new date when notified. It may appear in Sydney's Sunday paper too, not sure. Further on I will scan the article & make it available via the web site too.

Cheers.

My first Aussie Christmas since 1991! But I am definitely not used to this heat around Christmas time ... 15 years in the Northern Hemisphere made me nearly forget ... It's good to have seen my first Aussie thunderstorm with my own eyes the other night and to have caught up with my brother Carl whom I hadn't seen in 17 years. And it's great to be back in Aussie, if only for a few days. Back to cool HK in a few days time.
