While most of the storms weren't really the true monsoonal storms that develop further north in the tropics, I couldn't think of any other way to describe them given they were largely induced by a monsoon low that tracked south through western Queensland producing widespread rain and flooding across much of Queensland and northern NSW!

Because no one day had lots of good photos, but quite a few of the days had 1-2 good photos I decided to group them into a collage over a week.

The first storms started on January 8, I was working unfortunately so couldn't chase, and with a dryline pushing close to the coast it was going to be risky with things potentially drying out.  After work I decided to chance it and headed to Brisbane and then was going to head north and see if I could pick up some of the storms in the evening.  Unfortunately, I got caught in a stormjam on the way north and it was a no-go.  I was forced to enjoy spectacular CGs while stuck in traffic!
