Tassie warmer than Queensland, write this one down people, it's unlikely to ever happen again. It was about 9 deg C when I set off this morning (about 6.45am). Mind you, it warmed up pretty quickly once I hit Surfers. A pleasant enough morning, but nothing like last night.

Got away late last night - was held up for long enough to see a blood-red Moonrise out of the south pacific. This is officially the most amazing thing I've seen on this commute since I started it. The moon gradually lost it's colour as it rose into the sky, but my last abiding memory was seeing the now pale orange moon reflecting off the shimmering ocean as I turned off the Esplanade in Broadbeach. This is something I won't forget in a hurry.
