Sunset over the D'aguilar Ranges. To see more sunsets, visit the Elimbah Sunsets Gallery . The picture at right shows the rolling cumulonimbus 'shelf' cloud which is typical of the arrival of a severe storm over the residential areas during the summer months. The area is subject to regular rainfall throughout most of the year, and thunderstorms which can be quite severe in nature. Strong, gusting winds and heavy rain are common.
Hailstones occur infrequently but are sometimes damaging in nature.
The main railway line north from Brisbane bisects the community and provides a valuable transport facility for agricultural produce. Passenger and freight trains between Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland and the major regional centres to the north travel through the community along this line. Note the carriages stacked with crates that carry fresh pineapples away for processing. The photo was taken from Wildhorse Mountain Lookout. It has been 'dressed up' for this web page to show the comet more clearly.
