BOWEN

December 2001  


 

Just to the north of Bowen on the Bruce Highway as we were heading south.

As we drove through the storm, the rain was so intense and the visibility so severely reduced, that I had to pull over until it passed.

     
 

 


KINGAROY

11th December 2002


These pictures are of the progress of a storm that looked really promising but only produced a "strange" shower.

The clouds came from the opposite direction to our "normal" storms for Kingaroy.

It slowly moved back from the North.

KINGAROY

23mm from this storm which happened just after we arrived home from our trip to North Queensland.

The van and caravan escaped damage as the hail wasn't big enough to damage them, luckily!

This storm formed north east of us and moved away. We missed out. Again!

KINGAROY

I noticed this very interesting cloud formation just after midday on another hot, Summer day and happened to have the camera.

No rain eventuated though, just heat rising it seemed.

Fast and furious storm that blew through and left only a few millimetres.

KINGAROY

5th Feb 2008


A rare site in Kingaroy, the Stuart River in flood.

These pictures were taken near the bridge at the western end of River Road, on the way to the rubbish dump.

Really good rainfall, see here KINGAROY RAINFALL - 2008
Much better rainfall, around 200mm, at the Bunya Mountains, which is the source of the Stuart River.

That flow plus local rain caused the results below.
