The Governor-General is President of the Federal Executive Council and Commander-in...

Add the BOM radar to your iGoogle here Well, it would appear that the Wet Season has begun . Shame about it starting on New Years Eve, but i'm sure the fireworks will still explode as expected. Pity I will probably still be at work when they go off.
