quobba trip

hey all,

so ill be heading up to quobaa in a fortnights time with another mate of mine. iv been told the weathers looking good but the winds been a lill all over the place but forecasts are averaging mostly 20 knot eatsterlys. is there anyone whos just recently been up there who can shed a lill light on the weather situation?

iv got the car ready and the gear packed but my mate is in need of a cheapy spinning rod just for the trip, 8ft+ 30lb and only wants to spend $100. so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

plus im sure to knock up some sort of a report for guys when im back 

cheers Jay

Weather

If you are counting on the last fortnights weather as a benchmark I'd be forgetting it. Whats gone is gone and cannot have any influence on whats to come. Today and yesterday you could probably have seen the reflection of the islands it was that flat and tomorrow is supposed to be around 20 knots S /SW with a bit of cloud building up for the weekend.

This time of the years is usually the best up here but as said before don't put all your eggs in one basket and only bring ballooning gear up.

 

Besides, we blame you southerners for sending or bringing the crap weather up with you, it doesn't belong here some empty it out of your car and pockets at the 26 parallel so we don't suffer from it.

Having originally come from carnarvon, I have a basic idea of the weather around this time of yr. Though studying the weather for the past few weeks and the forecasts had given me an understanding of what to expect though I know the wind is completely unpredictable.
But thanks for the advice, ill be sure to not only rely on ballooning for a week long trip
