Lightning strikes are displayed as crosses and fade from white (current) to red (30 minutes ago) to blue (60 minutes ago).
Rainfall since 9am local time is displayed with coloured dots.
On local radar pages distance and latitude/longitude coordinates are displayed next to the time stamp
when you mouse over the map. The origin for distance measuring is indicated by a red dot and defaults to
either your location, if specified and in range, or the location of the radar (the centre of the map). The
origin may be changed by clicking elsewhere on the map.

Located at 343m on the summit of Mt Kanighan 26 km north of Gympie this radar has a very good view of any precipitation that may fall within its area of coverage. This extends from seawards of Fraser Is to the east, down to the Brisbane region to the south, out to about Chinchilla to the west, and up to about Miriam Vale to the north. This radar appears to provide a realistic interpretation of the weather actually being experienced within its area of coverage.
