Not from QLD, but the same malady has set in down south in Victoria, south of the Great Dividing Range has been the worst, most days are cloudy certainly enough to preclude serious imaging, the observatory has remained closed for months now, summer is difficult with short nights and work wise my busiest time so serious astronomy has not been possible..... Mind you it's the same across most of Victoria so I don't feel too bad.
I'm glad we don't get the serious deluges that QLD gets, 200 plus mm in a day..... Never happened here in my memory, and yet it's become commonplace up north.
Will hang onto my gear, hopefully this year will see a new camera. I had the money this year but spent it on other things that would see more use in the short term.
I've been fascinated by astronomy since a young child, still more to do yet.
