Rural Chinchilla

CHINCHILLA has a lot of wheat and like most of Queensland is bone dry and badly in need of rain. It was lovely to get here yesterday and to have some warmth again, it appears that Toowoomba actually had a cold snap and this afternoon they had storms there with hail. We had a brief storm last night with a few gusts of wind, thunder and lightning and only a light shower.
KOGAN CREEK POWER STATION is at Brigalow and is Australia's most modern and environmentally friendly power station. Standing at the above inspection viewing area it was surprising how quiet the plant was. It is powered using local coal via the conveyor belt visible to the right hand side.
