Good forecast.
There will still be plenty of fresh running, but it does not have a toxic overflow like the Brisso area, so no safety worries.
Elliott Hds should be good too, not far north. It does not really get too skanky to sail, even in the biggest floods.
Not sure if the back roads are open yet though.

Waters slightly darker than normal (black instead of brown ) but large logs etc seem to have all washed up by now. Still some Hymanacne weed floating around but nothing to worry about. Might catch you out on the water.

No Burrum for me. I'm taking the other half to Caloundra for a long weekend instead. Should be a nice comprimise as long as the wind is OK down there.

Have fun people
