Just found this site with aerial pics that reveal just how catastrophic the flood in member Kev's district, and elsewhere in Qld is.

Link to Chinchilla Flood Pics.

A lot of us have been through the district during drought, and could never have imagined this.

Unbelievable - we were there last year, and it is hard to imagine so much water. Just one place of many suffering.

Mick, he's pretty busy with the SES, and will update when he get's a minute.

He did say the flood level record has been broken at Chinchilla. Lot's of water that still has to move somewhere else :-(

Mick,

My phone has gotten a little bit wet and is officially dead :)

Will catch up as soon as I can LOL

The Warrego Highway is OPEN with only one way traffic at a time (I have spent the 1st 5 hours doing traffic control while Main Roads for a set of road work traffic lights to use :))

Cheers Kev

John,

Got your phone message last night LOL I am using a spare phone at the moment which needs to stay connected to the charger to work :(

I have the day off today to move house LOL

Sam has done a great job in moving probably 90% of the small stuff, we just need to do the Garage (my stuff) and all the heavy furniture. I might end up helping clean some friends places tomorrow if they haven't finished it.

Cheers Kev
