ha ha that reminds me of a similar occurance when i was living in FNQ (cairns area). It was about 11pm at night, full moon and a cockatoo started making a racket. Then a few hours later a kookaburra starts up. Few more hours, the local rooster starts his morning rant BEFORE sun up. Crazy.

But that was the day after a cyclone came through so maybe they were just scared out of their minds....or happy to have survived LOL!

all admins and mods are sleeping so there is no-one to lock-up this thread, would explain why people are still posting about atmospheric conditions.

Also, swordsman88, I think you mean 256 km of Brisbane, or not, what would I know?
