A Galah is a smaller version of the cockatoo and is grey and pink in colour. There are thousands of them in the wild. They can be trained to talk, similar to a cockatoo. They usually hang around in quite large flocks.

HI All,

blown off the wall, and meters and wiring completely fried. Even if a simple problem like a flock of galahs happen to fly

What's a Galah????

Just to confuse Puzzled Les a bit more...
These naturally occurring galahs which live over most of Australia are notorious for making a heck of a lot of noise about nothing just to show off: they are so loud that you can't help but notice them.  Therefore Australians who hear a person who happens to be exhibiting these same qualities will usually call him "a bloody galah".
But getting back to the flying variety, as Bussie said, they tend to gather in large flocks when their combined noise can be almost deafening.  They can absolutely cover an electricity transmission tower and, as their bodies conduct electricity as well as ours do, it is not unknown for them to fail to keep sufficient distance from each other and form a galah bridge between different phases on the power line causing a spectacular fireworks display followed by cooked galahs plummeting to earth where their still-burning remains have been known to start grass fires.

This effect has not gone unnoticed by the federal government in their bid to counter the US's SDI (or Star Wars) initiative with a lo-tech alternative solution: Reseach is underway by joint teams from CSIRO and the QLD DNR to create flocks of robotised titanium galahs each containing 1000 farad capacitors. After landing on 330kv power lines a flock of robot galahs is anticipated to have the ability to bring down a commercial airliner, leaving not a shred of evidence but a few charred silicon feathers (usually explained away as being Kapton wiring remnants) The more conspiratorial pundits have suggested this method may be being used to knock out the remaining community radio and television transmitters still standing in this country. Could these early research attempts be used to explain plasma balls, lightning plumes, and perhaps some UFO observations? Polly wanna cracker?

(using 6080, for statute miles to nautical miles conversion, multiply by 5280/6080.) The factors may be easily put into a spreadsheet for use in tables. Hope this helps.

Hi
 
BOM is now forecasting possible snowfalls on the Northern tablelands.  The last good fall for Guyra was back on the 19th August 1996 (1.6C max).  There were also brief falls in SEQLD at Stanthorpe, Toowoomba , and also Mt Barney(1360m).  Looks really good for the Central Tablelands again!  Wonder if there's much moisture in this system.
cheers

I phoned Ben on the way home from uni and asked him to, but I don't think he got around to it or the server is lagging. On B105 today, they reported a "mini-tornado" going through Adelaide early today damaging 12 homes, Kathy Jolly from Adelaide informed Paul Yole who informed me that the BoM thought it was a downburst. I found this report surprising, given that surface shear at 12Z(9:30pm) was 10kn, yet at 925mb it was a whopping 50kn! The "downburst" occurred at 6:30am. SRH was also impressive - 310!! Certainly I thought that it'd have been a good coldie setup, and when I later heard of the "mini"-tornado, I got quite excited and interested!

Hi weather people
Things are looking better for our much expected cold outbreak Tues/Wed here in Victoria. A rather nice splotch of mid high cloud near to the head of the bight looks interesting even showing a weak comma shape and possibly hiding large scale surface convection under an upper cold pool and one of the longest cold air streamflows pushing northward from below 60 south . With thickness at 500 showing a possibility of reaching 524-528 by Wed hopefully for NSW some of this cold air may extend into the central and northern tablelands. But for Victoria look out for the possibility of up to 3days of cold cb action and snow over high ground especially if the high west of WA continues to strengthen a ridge towards Antarctica.

Dear Les
A Galah is a pinkish intelligent parrot often found in large social groups and frequently performing  odd and funny behavioural habits. Also certain humans with similar wierd habits can be referred to as galahs, or you may hear someone refer to someone else as that blokes a bit of a galah! which means that bloke as in English terms is a bit of a twit!

Even WA sees some cold air with -2 temps at 850hpa tomorrow clipping the southern coast - not sure if this just gives the Stirling ranges the possibility of a few passing snow flakes. Wednesday looks to be the most interesting day for Victoria (and eastern SA) as the sub 528 pool traverses north over the western district and then swings NE to be over a large area of the NSW inland, slopes and ranges for Thursday; and leaving a smaller cold pool centred over the NSW Northern Tablelands on Friday. If MRF plays out as indicated, then it looks like the NSW tablelands (southern, central and northern) will bear the brunt. I guess this means the Blue Mtns and most parts of the Central Tablelands are likely to become isolated by road (and rail) for a couple of days and possibly even the Hume Hwy closing for a while. We could also hear reports of snow falls from places as far apart as Mt Lofty, Flinders ranges, possibly central Aust ranges and the Stanthorpe area in Qld as well as numerous lower level stations in Vic and NSW. MRF also hints at some possible interesting further snowfalls for especially the Vic ranges from the "returning" cold air heading back southward over the weekend. There is always the potential for some interesting effects from any local pools of cold air that end up trapped in valleys or over the inland in the wake of the outbreak. It all looks rather exciting - the skis remain ready and waiting..... The above scenario has support from GASP and to a slightly lesser degree the EC. On the other hand NGP, as Michael observes is not really coming to the party to anything like the same extent - just a strongish but relatively normal winter cold change with not much moisture and some good frosts as the high moves in. My head says that one should place more emphais on the model that is closest to 'normal' conditions (in this case NGP) ... but the speculation of the more extreme event is much more attractive... Oh by the way, in all the excitement of the coming cold outbreak, I almost forgot to mention the lightning I have been seeing in the last couple of hours over the ranges to the west from fast moving cb's. Almost too much of a good thing....(never!!)
