The Queensland government will attempt to lure tourists back to the state's flood-ravaged far north with discounted flights and accommodation.

Premier Steven Miles said it was hoped discounts would help businesses recoup lost costs, after footage of the December floods went "viral" and led to millions of dollars worth of cancellations.

"We really need to get the message out to Australia and the world that Cairns and Far North Queensland is open for business," Mr Miles said.

"Here in Cairns, you wouldn’t really know the cyclone had hit."

He said tourists were noticeably missing from Far North Queensland, where many people's livelihoods are reliant on the holiday trade.
 
Typical soggy winter weather here on the California north coast. Just had another 1.2" of rain the past 2 days, but today was a welcome break - mid-50s temps, cloudy but bright and no wet stuff falling from the sky!

The weeds are loving all the mild wet weather so this was my chance to stop their attempted takeover in the raspberry patch. It felt good to get out there in the gardens for a few hours, and the chickens adore a giant mound of weed clumps from the garden & borders to climb, nibble and scratch through. The dogs were snuffling about for active mole/gopher tunnels. So, a good time was had by all!
