Dear Riegers and "down under" WeatherCat fans,

Does anyone have a links to put into the options Imagery Channels for Australia?

Alas, most of us are "over" rather than "under," so we aren't much help in locating that sort of thing.  There are a few WeatherCat users from Austraila, alas none of them seems to have either found what you are looking for or they haven't checked into the forum lately.

My recommendation is to check websites related to the Australian government weather forecasting agency.  I would expect they would have the sort of thing you are looking for.  If that doesn't work, you could see if the United States, England, or Europe would have satellite images.  I did some searching of the US government resources, but came up empty.

Another option would be a private service like the Weather Channel or AccuWeather.  However, they might charge for what you are looking for.

Sorry, that's all I can offer.

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

If you want to use a single image then these are what you would need:
