It is now almost 30 months since the Queensland by Degrees project was formally launched and we have made considerable progress thanks to the efforts of many people across Queensland.
There are now 145 sites (78% of the total) on the website in one form or another. Information on a further 34 sites (18%) has been collected and are ready to be written up and 4 sites have been booked but not visited. This will result in 183, or over 99%, of the sites on the web, leaving only 2 that have yet to receive any attention. This is a fantastic result.
The two points left are 24°S 145°E, 25°S 147°E.
Just because a site has been collected and written up on the web should not preclude more material being gathered and included. For example, given the very good wet season in the west of the state it would be great to include pictures of the floods around Birdsville and elsewhere to illustrate the contrasts of wet and dry in the landscape. If you have visited the western areas we would greatly appreciate photos (with information on location) to include with the material already collected. Likewise photos of the impact of TC Hamish, Brisbane/Qld Floods, TC Yasi and other severe weather events along the south-east coast would also be a great addition.
