Yep, that's a looooooooooooong cloud band.

And that swirly bit west to southwest of Tassie is what is heading to us in Victoria, full of storms and snow

I don't think there will be many clear sky areas in Australia for a few days.

Sydney's alright though for tomorrow and Thursday so fa. The clouds follow the jetstream path between Newcastle and Brisbane. We're caught in an anomaly(?) on the edge which is a swirl of clear like an eye.

One STL11K, One GSO RC12 and fixed my PME. That should equate to 12 months of cloud I reckon. Oh well time for lots of sleep. Really lareg cloud that one. Just looking outside at our view across the valley and there is rain falling in the valley. It is winter afterall.

I'm glad they don't have a 24" GSO RC. You'd have gotten that instead and we'd all have to move up to the High Country because the rest of Oz would be under water!!!
