Morning Duncan.
I look at weatherzone
http://www.weatherzone.com.au/
you can put in your postcode and it shows you your (viewing) future

.
It can show you satellite, radar, a national stormstracker and other little 'features'. I've found it to be pretty reliable for my local area.
I know that a lot of pople look at the BOM (bureau of meteorology) site also
http://www.bom.gov.au/index.shtml.

p.s. none of the weather sites will give you a (virtual) bucket in case you hurl!
