Pick a useful view width

Start close to your town, then select a wider view to compare nearby echoes with the regional picture. The width controls change the area displayed; they do not select a radar station or promise coverage across the whole map.

Check the time before you travel

The loop is historical imagery. Check the latest-frame age and consult official BOM warnings for severe weather information. Queensland spans a large area, so choose a location close to your plans.
