Yeah but I only have 2 Saturdays a month when thats possible, coz my parents need both cars for work and then there's the moon and good 'ol southern Victorian weather to deal with......and my parents wont let me go alone coz they reckon I'm gonna get killed by someone or something. I'm sure bad guys will find me in the middle of nowhere at a place few people even know exists or worse yet, drop bears might fall out of the sky and eat my eyeballs.

Yeah but it went from 0-overcast in 5 seconds about an hour before sunset. Classic.

Yer thank my dad for that. Coz of his insistance that I'd do the shopping, I went 48 hours wihout sleep. He was actually pissed off that I was trying to sleep on the morning after I got in because shopping is more important.
Even after sleeping 9 hours last night, I still felt like $%!#.
Oh well, looks okay for tonight. This residual cumulus cloud should die off once the sun sets. Usually does.
EDIT: Dammit, we have some high cloud. Looks liek with the wind turning northeasterly, alll the crud in NSW is getting dragged down here >
EDIT: yep now the whole state is blanketed in cloud. Unbelievable
