Queensland Floods

Hi

The floods which weren't affecting us now are.

The river has risen very high - It's now just starting to lap at the level of our garage, so we moved our car to a higher road and moved our camping stuff into our apartment. We've also been helping neighbours who had their garages filled floor to ceiling with boxes of stuff - Mostly which they claim belong to their children who asked them to store things.

The river is going to rise a lot more tomorrow and Thursday, so our garage will definitely be flooded and we'll be without electricity shortly.

The town of Toowoomba, about 100km W of Brisbane got hit really badly with a flash flood yesterday. For some dramatic videos, see

Otherwise all well :-)
