Michael,
I am glad you have had a good start to the season - I have been watching in awe at some of the storms that have pumped through the region - especially the one you had through Lismore! Well done on getting a direct hit in your area.
I have had days now of tropical convection - the most exciting stuff you see here is the odd lightning and pileus - the updrafts are just so ill-defined as one would expect in any part of the tropics.
Jimmy
