It took a while for things to really get going, but by 6pm when it was getting dark some of the cells to my south were starting to put out some nice lightning!  I was able to take a few shots south of my house, before heading NE out of some rain to get in front of some cells that were about to move over (or just north of) my house and into the Lockyer Valley.  The CG rate was quite phenomenal!!!  Lightning was very frequent, several flashes a second with heaps of CGs!  Unfortunately towards the end of it the rain began to shroud the CGs a little, but I was still able to get some nice lightning photos which is what I had hoped to do as I have still been testing out my new camera with lightning and was quite pleased with some of the results!!!  The following pictures can all be clicked on for larger images:
