Last time i looked, there is more to Qld than just the SE. ;-)

Blue skies up in the real Qld, got cold last night at 18C LOL.

Even Calliope was a pleasant place to visit yesterday....:-)

Bit cool here too 18 at 5.30am. I spent 10 minutes trying to find my long trousers.

Had someone from Melbourne ask how we were coping with the flooding. Some people can't get their head around the fact that there is more to Qld than Brisbane and Gold Coast.

I told him he would have a better idea as he was closer than I am. Still didn't get it.

Yeh we are just north of you, as the Crow flies, about 10ks approx, just the usual heavy down pours, nothing dramatic, the Media beat it up to make it worse than what it is, a lot of the low lying areas around here or near stormwater catchment areas have over flowed ect, or near open drains and small creeks, nothing like 74 floods, on a scale to 1 to 10 this would only be a 3 in my opinion, we havent got water clearing peoples window sills like in 74, or the Brisbane River over a kilometre wide in places, and up to peoples roofs ect, it's mainly in low lying areas with poor drainage or swollen creeks that you see the Media scrambling around, the footage that they showed up at Herston near the hospital is near Victoria Park which allways goes under with the drainage systems, and the hospital staff use that area for parking, anyway we are lucky to have built on a hill lol lol. I feel sorry for the guy who got killed up in Surfers Paradise, with the window imploding, with the Wind Gusts ect. we are just far enough off the beach to miss the Gale Force Winds.

Well '74 ...the Gold Coast canals were turquise blue and their sand banks all pristine white sand. Then the floods brought the silt and they've been dirty since. That was before the Hinze.

If Wivenhoe had not been built it would be a repeat of '74.
All other areas being reported always traditionaly flood. If you haven't moved out, or have bought in since then...wot tha!

The wind tunnels here in Surfers, caused by new developments like Chevron Renaissance and Circle on Cavill, increase the wind strength intensely. A four burner bbq lifted off yesterday as did a old singer sewing machine (cast iron/granite top) complete with pot plants from a 12th floor balcony...now thats strong wind.
