Hi Darcy, mate just emptied another 75mm out and that makes about 475mm in the last 3 weeks...... Springwood area Brisbane. I think we've had enough  for a while........
IN IT FOR THE FUN OF IT. LIKE MR NIKE SAYS JUST DO IT.

Spending time at Marani at my daughters, just outside of Mackay. Lots of the wet stuff Darc, Pioneer river quite high. Some winds in town took out a few trees. Nothing like 08 yet and hope it doesn't. Heading to Melb next week (Pakenham) for a bit of dryness, never though I'd say that!

Gee, that's not so good Jackie. I saw on the weather channel they reckoned a lot more to come too. Fingers crossed they aren't right... I see they're copping the snow in the US now too.

So far so good :) the river has risen some more but not enough to make us swim out :D ;D One thing that has blown me away with all this, is the wonderful people who have contacted me, and offered to help, unbelieveable 8) Thanks everyone for the offers of help, much appreciated :).

Keep Smiling :)

Alison no I haven't. I tried phoning a few times a day or so ago but no answer. The area they are in is pretty safe I think. Once you've seen the enormity of that frickin' Fairburn dam, to think the water is now heading towards 5 metres above the spillway is bloody scarey considering Emerald is what lay on the otherside :o will try again shortly ;)

Anyone know how Ray Sullivan's getting on up in Emerald? Things ain't looking very dry up there, I hope he and his beloved bikes are out of harms way.
