I was back cleaning today and after I'd had enough I went for a drive around the neigbourhood for a sticky beak. Pretty devastating, it looks like that sunarmi a few years ago in Asia....theres rubbish piled up everywhere. Rad hard-chroming where totally submerged so if you have a job in there at the moment I would be patient about contacting them for a week or so. Theres still no power in our area.I have had alot of friends contact me about helping to clean up but since we have it under control I have steered them to help someone who needs it more than me....which is alot of people....it's amazing how many people are out there helping each other and they dont even know them....NSW are gonna get smashed 3 nil in the state of origin again this year....QLD spirit ;)

Shite, I was going to call Rad Shockies for a fork rebuild last week but I thought he might have been in it up to his knees. Will have to wait a couple of weeks now.
Take care in the mud you lot, I have got a terrible guts ache and bad sneezes at the moment proably from some bug in that muck, and it's greazier than a pork chop to drive on.
Speaking of pork chops, how many new Australians do you see lining up to help out in the lines of volunteers/ not many from my count of tv coverage and only one or two asians. Count them next time it's on the news.

Got back into the house today :o :o :o the ceiling was on the floor, along with 3 inches of mud, the place was a shit fight (can I say that on the forum) funny thing the cars were in the exact same spot we left them in, our property was untouched by large floating objects, we think the trees around the house may have prevented that, the shed hmmm ugly! but Gaz got on to the bikes straight away. Took heaps of piccies unfortunately can't find the attachments to download to the computer, I think I grabbed the wrong bag ::). We salvaged the little mans (grandson) teddy bears and we also found his wallet with his pocket money still in it  :D ;D clothes, well thats a real problem, looks as though I'll have to go shopping :D ;D killed a brown snake, and was fed by our little angel Denise, what a day.

Strangely still smiling :)

Hi Brett, we are in Bundamba, the insurance will cover it, they basically already had a claim number for us when we contacted them, can you believe that :o we didn't have content insurance ::) but the house and cars are covered :)


Keep Smiling :)

We've seen flood warnings for Rochester, even up here, and you're not far from there I understand.

I hope the water stays away TIm

All the best

Hi , the flood in Norman Park got within 6 feet of the garage, All the workshop had been emptied the day before so no loss or wet stuff, just stinking mud /sewage through the lawn and hedge out the front , My unlucky neighbours had floodwater all through the houses , spent the last couple of days water blasting and ripping out wall boards, and shoveling mud ,no sparks for two days but we had gas water and stoves, just need to empty the spare bedrooms , full of bike parts, now , and restock the workshop, but that can be later ,
 Will catch up with Gazza and Jac tomorrow,
cheers
