She trashed the Whitsundays, and dumped buckets of rain all down the Queensland and NSW coast.
The politicians have been particularly pathetic recently, subsidizing an Indian coal mine and mocking people concerned about climate change.
Here are a few photos from the extra rain.

We had to get Nimrod down from Raby Bay to her annual appointment at BoatWorks in Coomera. The plan had been to bring her down on Thursday, ready for her liftout on Friday morning. The weather was wet on the Thursday, with a northerly of 20-25 knots, but Debbie was due to swing round and blow hard from the south for most of the week. A case of 'now or never'.
The creek was flooded a kilometre down from our house, so I went round the back way to meet my mate Julien at Coomera. The back road was open, but later in the day suffered a major break!
Julien and I got Nimrod down to BoatWorks without difficulty. Quite a bit of debris in the Coomera River. I stayed at his place that night, until the creek dropped enough to get home the next day.
As predicted, Debbie blew hard from the south for days. Just as well we made the move when we did.
