Just a bit of non-birding trivia for those interested in the weather and its
extremes -

The official rainfall for Mt Bellenden Kerr  (Queensland's second highest 
mountain
at 1582  metres and just south of Cairns) has been released by the Bureau of
Meteorology for the year 2000 -

12134 mm was recorded for the 12 months in the official rain guage on top of the
mountain  - that is just over 12  metres or almost 45 feet of rain in the old
measurements.    The mountain usually receives between 7 and 10 metres of rain
(records over about 18 years).

Mt Molloy,
