78° right now almost 0900 this 28th day of April 2025. Forecast high is 83° here in Chauvin, LA. Good chicken weather. Can't crab today, the lillies are covering the bayou almost bank to bank. Maybe I start building the coop for the peeps, they are by my reckoning 3 weeks old today and need more space than their little brood bin. Expecting another feeder and waterer today from Amazon so I can split them up into two bins for now. Anyhow, yeah no more cold weather from here on out.

Banana prawn fishers face 'worst' conditions yet in late Queensland wet season​

It is the season of banana prawns in northern Australia, but trawler operators in the Gulf of Carpentaria say they are coming back to shore with not much in the nets.

Queensland's late wet season devastated towns and agriculture across the state, and the latest victim is the banana prawn industry, which is grappling with the worst season many have ever seen.

Whether consumers will feel the pinch is yet to be determined.

That is because much of last year's bumper season is sitting in freezers across the country, according to Bryan Van Wyk, who manages Austral Fisheries' northern prawn division.

"There's still a lot of leftover prawn stock around on the market from previous big years," he said.

"We've got the worst of both worlds … a market that is reasonably full, which means lower prawn price, and the lowest productive season we've ever seen."

Call to consumers​

Prawn sales tend to skyrocket twice a year — Christmas and Australia Day.

As this season's banana prawns hit the shelves, private Carpentaria and Northern Prawn Fishery trawler manager Greg Albert urged people to consider seafood as a protein source when grocery shopping, especially as steak prices had risen.

"The price of prawns has basically been the same for the last five years in the supermarkets, yet I think it's just the habits of the consumer," he said.

"They're more economical than some of the other proteins."

This morning it was a chilly 0C, but it warmed up nicely and by the time I got home at 4pm it was 22C.

Horses, chooks and I were really enjoying this lovely weather.

It’s currently 19C (65F) and the sun is still up, doesn’t get dark now until gone 8:30pm.

Forecast for tomorrow is 25C and a good possibility of sever thunderstorms, along with hail and tornadoes. And so it starts, the wild summer weather.
