Thought I'd post one I took this afternoon crossing the Bohle River on my way into Townsville. This is the Bruce Highway - the low road is already flooded and the northbound traffic diverted onto the high road. Looking towards railway track.

Rain gauge overflowed last night - only holds 175mm - found out we had 300mm in 24 hrs. Emptied 65mm from gauge tonight (8 hrs) and will check again in morning.

If you look close at my dash - my new gauges: Boost, Oil Pressure, and EGT. Just need wiring up now.

G'day Doug T

Just received this from a mate in Townsville

"Now read this from the BOM 03/02/09 .....
Major flooding is rising in the upper Burdekin River at Greenvale, Mt Fullstop and Sellheim where at 3.30pm, the river level was 20.2 metres and about 6.7 metres over the Macrossan Bridge. Flood levels are expected to peak in the Sellheim area tonight.

The Defender can't get through that, even with a run up.

More rain coming…………"

Cheers
Lotzi

G'day Doug
Yep, he sent some photos over to me, but I have a bit of trouble getting them to send ... that's in my computer .... technickle issue.
He was saying that there is just big mobs of water, as you know once that gets down to the flats, as you say.. look out, I reckon the Home Hill Mill might get a bit damp this year.
And the wets only really starting on the east, with the lows starting to move down ... going to be an interesting couple of months.
Cheers

Wouldn't mind seeing them. Used to travel that road every week when I worked at the Towers. Never once saw it over the road - but the flood marker on the western side of the bridge certainly showed the history.
