Also happened closer to the coast. I spent some time with Bert Persson in
the car park of the Sundowner pub at Caboolture around noon yesterday
(Saturday) gazing upward at the incredible lenticulars that dominated the
sky in virtually all directions. Should add that *we were on our way in for
a counter lunch only* and Bert was thinking that he should be up there
amongst it (we and others had spent the morning getting things ready for
Caboolture Gliding Club to vacate Hangar 105 at the end of Spetember). Short
lived however ... by the time we came back out about 40 minutes later winds
from south east were revving up and sky was looking dark.

Hi James,

The met data pointed to a great wave day.  Winds pretty much straight on the
ridge at 15-20 kts, averaging 25-30 kts to 10,000 ft, then progressively
increasing to 75 kts at 18,000 ft.  This, combined with a solid inversion
from 6500-8000 ft and relatively free from convective cloud - what more
could a dedicated wave-hound wish for?  Unfortunately I live 2000 km to the
south.

Regards,

Geoff V

There were some awesome lennies over north of toowomba way today. Did anyone
get to soar them?
