A couple of light misting showers is all that's hit my place, even with the cloud low enough to obscure the headland at the far end of the beach.

Lucky Geelong. Send it to the Tarkine, please.

Don't know about lucky Geelong. I had 3.8mm here at Lara 15km from Geelong whilst they had 50-60mm. Avalon less than 10kn NE of here had 72mm so very localised. Just hope that good rains will fall on Tassie over the next 4 days or so.

How was Harbin and did you survive the cold comfortably?

Yes, was going to say we did earlier but then thought I better give a short response in the other thread than here.
