Love your work ❄️⛈️🌧🌩🌦🌞🌤☀️

🌬🧊Our thought are with our Aussie friends from tropical Queensland! Yes, one team will be keeping a closer eye on the weather more than anyone else - yes, even the farmers.

🏉The Queensland Reds are set to face the Crusaders this Friday night in in the first quarter final, and the forecast is looking bitter! Expect wintry showers, a chance of sleet, and icy cold southerly winds. And with the associated wind chill? Temperatures will feel like freezing!

🌡A little different to the 25 degrees in Brisbane today.

Good for the Crusaders game on Friday night

Bring on the new stadium for weather related situations like this coming up.

Queensland had so much bloody rain it's a bog hole. They might just enjoy a bit of fresh air and a sprinkle of snow.

Kylie Williamson where would you rather be?

Michael Passant better wrap up warm!

Hypothermia looks odds on for the poor boys , again

Got the tickets will be there supporting the mighty Crusaders!

Biked to Marlborough from Hanmer Springs 😄 Slightly misleading, but technically true! Starting with Jollies, finishing with Jacks Pass; Jollies is brutal. Love it in here! Amazing country and history. Shattered, dropped 3.5 kegs 🤯

Today was amazing. Into the badlands from Hanmer Springs...hot...windy..barren...⛽️ Fuel light came on 10km out, with Jacks Pass to climb from the Clarence side. Fowlers Hut. Empty the tank!

Start to the week ☀️☀️
