Rise of the super clouds
Australia experienced more of these once-highly unusual weather-generating fires in the 2019-20 bushfire season than in the previous 30 years, the royal commission into national natural disaster arrangements was told. Huge, thunderstorm-type clouds called pyrocumulonimbus formed over fires, a case of fire creating weather as much as weather creating fire. Of course, down below, conditions were hot, dry and dangerous before the clouds even formed, but once they formed, these superclouds were capable of generating their own winds, their own lightning strikes...their own fires... More on the pyro super clouds, inside back.
One stop hub/ shop
The idea of creating a ‘farm to fork’ opportunity for Southern Downs producers to easily share the products they grow and produce with the local community has got local gardeners Carolyn Crawford and David Crowther keen, and ambitious. The two gardeners envision a hub in the community, a central location where established producers, home gardeners, and local artisans can bring their wares and the community and travellers can have easy access to the very best produce, body care products, plants, and crafts the Southern Downs has to offer.
