A Sandy Beach Almanac



You've landed at Sandy Beach, NSW, Australia: Lat. -30.15331, Long. 153.19960, UT +10:00 – local map & zoom Google map. I live in a cabin on this beach, 25 kilometres north of the traffic and shops of Coffs Harbour, 600 km north of Sydney. My intention is to post observations of Nature and life within 1 km (1,000 paces) of my South Pacific home.

Wild weather



Your almanackist is chewing his fingernails this morning as the whole north coast enters its fifth or sixth day of rain, and there are flood and gale warnings in the whole region.

Apart from some minor leaks, the Ponderosa is holding up well and I don't anticipate flooding. The fingernail chewing is over the birth of my fifth grandchild, who is six days overdue and currently residing on the bush side of the Kalang River, which tends to flood in a heavy dew. I'm waiting for news.

One town in southern Queensland had 502mm of rain in 24 hours. That's almost 20 inches.
