Floods Continue in Queensland

Another day, another flood it seems in the land of the banana bender.

Floods continue across the Brisbane region and will for several more days, maybe even a week in some areas before the water goes away. Then there is the task of cleaning up houses and businesses, and that will take weeks. Some premises will never be habitable again.......ever!

And it is a moveable feast with SW Queensland now being flooded with Goondiwindi and Boggabilla [in NSW but closeby] being evacuated.

There are floods across the state border into NSW as well - along the coastal rivers, serious, but it seems not quite to record breaking levels - just below in many areas. Have relatives there, but know they are well above flood levels, on Riley's Hill [ literally] south of Ballina, NSW.

The stories are developing already, with a great one today about Doug and Mavis the tugboat [google that and see for yourself] and it is a feel good story too. There will be many more; many, many more to come.

Come on Queensland.........you will recover!!!
