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. Kevin Rodda

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.
