Flooding

Kev,
you are probably right as he would have his lightest trailer on the rear, then it may have dragged the others along with it.

Have a good one

Andrew,
No that wasn't me, I pulled up at the Caltex for a coffee about 11pm.

All the road works that is being done in the wet wasted, as you say they could fix Sandy gully and Yellow Gin creek for a pittance.

Haughton River bridge is a joke also, just point her and hope you don't have something happen, cause all you are going to do is fall off the side, at least there is no handrail to stuff the paint work.

Must admit the road hasn't started to break up yet.

Have a good one

On second thoughts, with Abbott Point being the flavour of the month, we should see some upgrade works happening to maintain the link to the Bowen area.

Wouldn't want all royalties proping up the State now. ;)

No mate,
they have had a couple of hundred mill this month, although Giru keeps getting flogged, all the houses there should be on barges.

There has been some big one day falls along the coast around the 300mm mark and Bowen area copped a big hit the other day. The Don River at Bowen is an awesome sight in flood, it generates some large waves. I believe it is Australia's fastest flowing river in flood.

Have a good one

4-500mm in places this month alone.



Point data from BOM

Very dangerous River, the Don, in flood.
