Looking W from about 30km S of Grafton. The cell exhibited some evidence of organisation here.

AM041207_02

A closer look at the above.

AM041207_03

The cell cycled so I repositioned myself just on the NE'ern side of Grafton and the cell exploded with a solid base and a very heavy core.

AM041207_04

Nice structure. Looking SW towards Grafton with the storm sitting just W of Grafton.

AM041207_05

Plenty of CG's were pumping out of this region.

AM041207_06

A heavy core descended through the updraft base.

AM041207_07

I moved further N to near Maclean where the cell again exhibited evidence of organisation.

AM041207_08

I was briefly distracted by a cane fire which was quite impressive.

AM041207_09

Another view of the storm over the Clarence (?) River NE of Grafton and again the storm was exhibiting evidence of organisation.

AM041207_10

A closer look at the action area.

AM041207_11

With the anvil streaming off over my head to the NE, I was able to snap some mammatus whilst repositioning again.

AM041207_12

Another quick stop near Coraki. I was starting to wonder if I was going to be able to chase this storm all the way back to Brisbane...

AM041207_13

The cell finally started to weaken just S of Casino but not before pushing out some nice CG's.

AM041207_14

In a last effort to give me a show, the cell dropped some nice CG's just after passing over/near Casino.

AM041207_15

These were the last two CG's of the storm as it died shortly after this, almost 4 hours after I started chasing it S of Grafton.
