Basically I want as much wind info about QLD as I can get my hands on! Wind satistics only help so much.

Dude, what else is there? Statistics come from the collection and interpretation of quantitative (numerical) data over a period of time. If you want information on wind I dare say this will be the best you can get:

www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/wind/selection_map.shtml

Wind roses show the frequency of occurrence of wind speed and direction.

exactly what you are after...

What kind of strengths are we looking at? 15Knots plus? How many days a week will you get in Cairns and Brisbane throughout the year?

Wind information is available for 81 selected locations around Australia which have a wind records of at least 15 years. Many of these sites have more than twenty five years of data. There are wind roses for a number of sites across Australia.

Hope this helps in your quest. Good luck.

You cant beat local knowledge and it's always the tourists that get eaten or dissapointed.
