This darned Low pressure system does not know what it wants to do.
It was heading South to Fraser, now its heading back north but is expected
to turn again and head SW back towards Bundaberg and Fraser island.
It intensifies, then starts falling apart, then intensifies again!!
Here is the latest from the BOM regarding this system which they have not
declared as a cyclone yet but rather a "Mature Deep tropical low"
It was fun at first, but after over a week of constant rain, high winds
and
wild surf, it is starting to become a pain!!!

If your going through Hell.......
Just drive straight through it, don't slow down!
